Got To Be There

(album: Flying High Together - 1972)

Got to be there (Got to be there), got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there (Got to be there), got to be there
Show her good times
Show her that she is my girl
Oh, what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes, I realize
I need her sharing the world beside me

So I've got to be there (Got to be there)
Got to be there in the morning
Welcome her into my world
Lord, I wanna show her that she is my girl
When she says, "Hello, world"
(Got to be there in the morning)

Oh, I wanna be right there
(Got to be there)
In the morning when she wakes up, let me be there
(Got to be there, got to be there)
To help her say, yeah
Hello, world, hello, world, hello, world, oh
(Got to be, got to be, got to be there)
I wanna be right there
(Got to be there, got to be there)

Oh, oh, what a feeling there's gonna be, mmm
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes, I realize
I need her sharing the world beside me

So I've got to be there (Got to be there)
Gotta be there where love begins
And that's everywhere my baby goes
Got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me
She's home

Be right there
Oh yeah (Baby, baby, baby, baby)
Tell the world I wanna be right there
Oh (Baby, baby, baby)
In the morning, let me be right there
Oh, don't you know I wanna be right there?
Mmm
Got to be there
