You Can Depend On Me

(album: The Manhattan Transfer - 1975)

Though you say we're through I'll always love you
You know, you can depend on me
If you need a friend, I'm yours until the end
You know, you can count on me
I wish you success and loads of happiness
But I must confess
I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely
If someone you've met has made you forget
You know, you can count on me

Hey dig it, baby you got all me
Oh anytime you're feeling low n' love's got you moaning low
You're sitting with your bottle looking out the window
Pretty baby listen to me
I wanna tell you how I feel about you baby
How you got a way of sending me a reeling from the top a' to the bottom
If I gotta naggy hokey way of feeling poke me, poke me once again
We could do right, cooking up a little rhythm
Move it jus' right and I'll show ya what you missed
Give it up, give it up, give up your love to me
An' I'll motivate, n' motivate, n' motivate, n' motivate, an' motivate
Along an' drive your blues away...

Oh pretty baby I can dig what you been saying
What you been putting down makes my heart go aroun'
It's sweet music to my ear
But my dear I feel my heart's been broken all the time
I just can't stop from thinking 'bout the past, hurt from the last
It can hurt you for a long long time
But you sweet talking man, you move me with your jive
Lord you make me feel like I'm alive again
The moment that I look into your eyes so brown
Sweetheart I can't believe that the love bug's bit me
But I believe it, get I believe it, get I believe it
It's really really 2 true love!

Baby am I talking to ya, don't you know I'm really gonna be true to ya

Take me now, you don't know I can't resist when you're talking
Ooh wee... I'm as crazy as a monkey in a tree

Shashay down where we can be alone when the timing and the mood is right
Baby divine, I'm feeling so fine a little loving hasn't come along in a long long time
Its love so fine, it's divine... one more time!

Baby divine, I'm feeling so fine a little loving hasn't come along in a long long time
So divine, love so fine, one more time!
