Verse 2:

When you feel alone and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold, darling

(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out) Reach out for me
[spoken: Hah!]

I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you

(I'll be there to love and see you through)
(I'll be there to love and comfort you)

Verse 3:

I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love now, now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found - I know what you're thinking
You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling

(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out)
[spoken: Just look over your shoulder!]

Chorus 3:

I'll be there to give you all the love you need
I'll be there, you can always depend on me
