I’ll Be There Lyrics
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)
[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson]
And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on
(Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on) Yes, I will, yes, I will
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl, is all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you (Yeah, baby)
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)
[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson]
And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on
Hoo-hoo (Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on) Yes, I will, yes, I will
[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there (I'll be there)
[Outro: Michael Jackson]
Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name (I'll be there), I'll be there
Just look over your shoulders, honey! Ooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
Whenever you need me (I'll be there), I'll be there
Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name (I'll be there), I'll be there
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll be there, I'll be there

“I’ll Be There” was our real breakthrough song; it was the one that said, “We’re here to stay.” It was number one for five weeks, which is very unusual. That’s a long time for a song and the song was one of my favorites of all the songs we’ve ever done. How I loved the words: “You and I must make a...
