You know everybody needs somebody to depend on
Somebody to be there for you when things are going rough in life
I'd like to be the one that when the whole world is falling on you
I wanna be the one you could turn to

I'd like to be the one on a cold winter's night
Who would wine and dine ya by the fireplace and the candlelights
And to sweet music we'll make love again and again
Girl, most of all, I just wanna be

I just wanna be the one that holds you (when you feeling sad)
The one that makes you smile (when you're feeling bad)
Girl it is what it is, we don't have to pretend
Girl, I just wanna be
I just wanna be the one that holds you (when you feeling sad)
The one that makes you smile (when you're feeling bad)
Girl it is what it is, we don't have to pretend
Girl, I just wanna be, I just wanna be the one

Be your friend (girl)
Let me be your friend (uuh)
The one who sticks by you
Through thick and thin
Let me be the one (the one you call on)
Swear I'd never do you wrong (I'd never do you wrong)
I just wanna be there for you
When you need someone

I wanna be the one
When the morning comes
You'll wake up and you'll look at me
And you'll say you had so much fun
And may, maybe baby, you'll say to me, "let's do it again"
I guarantee we'll have a good time
Because you are my friend

I wanna be the one that holds you (when you feeling sad)
The one that makes you smile (when you're feeling bad)
Girl it is what it is (we don't have to pretend)
I just wanna be
I wanna be the one that holds you (when you feeling sad)
The one that makes you smile (when you're feeling bad)
Girl it is what it is (we don't have to pretend)
I just wanna be the one

Be your friend (I just wanna be the one that holds you)
Let me be your friend
The one who sticks by you (by you, through thick and thin)
Through thick and thin
Just let me be the one you call on (the one you call on)
I'd never do you wrong (I'd never do you wrong)
I just wanna be there for you
When you need someone
