I’ll Be There (Live at The Forum, August 26, 1972)

[Spoken Intro: Jackie Jackson]
And the next song we're gonna do is one of our biggest
So thank you very much because you made it that way
Thank you very much

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
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)

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
And oh, 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
(Holding on, holding on)
Yes, I will; yes, I will

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well, that's 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)

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
And oh, oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you, baby
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holding on, ooh, yes I will
(Holding on, holding on)
Yes I will

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & (The Jacksons)]
If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there (I'll be there)

[Outro: The Jacksons & 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, baby baby, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there
(Thank you)
