When I find myself in trouble and I need someone to lean on
I only have to call and you’re right there by my side
When I can’t see all the reasons why you have to be so far away
I wonder if your love is really here to stay
And I can’t help my feelings and I can’t hide my love for you
And I’ll always believe in all the things that you want me to

When you’re telling me not to worry ‘cos you’re being there won’t be long
I only live in hope that you just can’t be wrong
Because I can’t help my feelings and I can’t hide my love for you
And I’ll always believe in all the things that you want me to

And I can’t help my feelings and I can’t hide my love for you
And I’ll always believe in all the things that you want me to
