Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've always told you
I'd give anything
My baby, you been my best, my only friend
There's nothing like the joy you bring
[Verse 2]
I wonder what would happen
If you would trust in me
I'd make you believe, I'd make you see
No need to run from me
[Verse 3]
I'd make you feel like never before
Here I stand, heart in hand, help me find the door
Anybody can see, baby, you've been hurt before
Let me heal your pain and you won't ever hurt no more
[Verse 4]
Whatever it takes to make you happy, baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile
Whatever it takes to make you feel good, baby
I'll be around
[Verse 5]
One moment spent near you
Removes all my pain
Your miracle soothes me, your hurricane moves me
I cannot explain
[Verse 6]
Burdens get heavy
Become too much to bear, ooh
Honey, don't you say nothing, a-hold on, I'm coming
I want you to know that I'll be there
[Verse 7]
I'll make you feel like never before
Willin' and able, baby, open up the door
Anybody can see, baby, you been hurt before
Let me heal all your pain, never let you hurt anymore
[Verse 8]
Ah
Oh
Mmm
Mmm, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 9]
Mmm
Ah
Oh, mmm
Oh
[Verse 10]
Whatever it takes to make you happy, baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile
Whatever it takes to make you feel good, baby
I'll be around
