You Can Count On Me

[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
There's so much you need and no need to be lonely
So much to give, I wanna give it to you
I've waited so long, I can't wait much longer
This feeling is right — can you feel it, too?

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me for whatever you need
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me

[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
When love lets you down, I'll be there to hold you
We talk and we laugh, still there's words you won't say
Girl, look at me now — can't you see I need you?
Though you can go, please won't you stay

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me for whatever you need
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me

[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
You can count on me, baby
Oh, and I need your love

Sometimes we all give up and then we change
It's not hard to do
Don't give up on love 'cause it's not to blame
For what's in the past, I'll be there for you

[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me for whatever you need
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me for whatever you need
You can count on me, baby, baby
You can count on me

[Outro: Howard Hewett]
Oh-oh-oh, you can count on me
