Lyric - I'll Be There (The Jackson 5)

I'll Be There
Performed by The Jackson 5
Written by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch
Motown, 1970

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, 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

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
Yes, I'll be, yes, I'll be

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 to protect you, yeah baby
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I'll be there

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,
Yes, I'll be, yes, I'll be

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
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there
Just look over your shoulders, honey, oh

I'll be there, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, 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...

Lyric - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor, 1978)

I Will Survive
Written by Freddie Perren, Dino Fekaris
Vocal by Gloria Gaynor
October 27, 1978


At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

[CHORUS]
Go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
(hey hey)

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me

[CHORUS]

Lyric - I'd Love You to Want Me (Lobo, 1972)

I'd Love You to Want Me
Written by Lobo (Roland Kent Lavoie)
Big Tree Records, 1972


When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

[Chorus]
Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

Repeat chorus
Repeat verse 2
Repeat chorus

Lyric - I Can't Tell You Why (The Eagles, 1980)

I Can't Tell You Why
Written by Timothy B. Schmit, Glenn Frey, Don Henley
The Eagles
Asylum, February 4, 1980


Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live through years in the dark?
Ahh...

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why

When we get crazy,
It just ain't right,
(try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too

You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
and I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
No, no, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Lyric - I Started a Joke (Bee Gees 1968)

I Started a Joke
Written by Barry, Robin, Maurice Gibb
Polydor 1968


I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didnt see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.

til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if Id only seen that the joke was one me.

Lyric - I Have Nothing

I Have Nothing

Written by David Foster and Linda Thompson

Vocal by Whitney Houston

1993

Share my life, take me for what I am

Coz I'll never change all my colors for you

Take my love, I'll never ask for too much

Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further

I don't want to have to go where you don't follow

I won't hold it back again, this passion inside

Can't run from myself

There's nowhere to hide

Well,don't make me close one more door

I don't wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me...

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I don't have you, you, you, you, you, you...

You see through, right to the heart of me

You break down my walls with the strength of your love mmmmm...

I never knew love like I've known it with you 

Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to 

I don't really need to look very much further

I don't want to have to go where you don't follow

I won't hold it back again, this passion inside

I Can't run from myself

There's nowhere to hide

Your love I'll remember, forever

Don't make me close one more door

I don't wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me...

I have nothing, nothing, nothing...

Well,don't make me close one more door

I don't wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Don't walk away from me no...

Don't walk away from me

Don't you dare walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I don't have you, you 

ooohhh,ooooh

if i don't have you,oohh... Thank you, thank you very much!
