I Was There

(album: I Don't Speak The Language - 1983)

You've got a real short memory
Let me tell you again
You promised to be by my side whenever I need a friend
You've been looking out for number one

But I'm not afraid to show you how I feel
My tears are calling

I was there

When you needed sympathy
Did I let you down

I was there
When you reached out
Now you can't just stop loving me
It's got to work out
It's got to work out

Girl, it's been a long time
Won't you say you love me
Won't you go and live life
Won't you try and save me
Save me

I was there
I was around
When you needed sympathy
Did I let you down (oh, no no)

I was there, I was there
When you reached out
Now you just can't stop loving me
It's got to work out
It's got to work out

It's got to work out
It's got to work out

It's got to work out
It's got to work out

It's got to work out
It's got to work out

It's got to work out
It's got to work out

It's got to
