[Verse 1]

All of us at times need someone

One true friend we can rely on

When for you that time is near

Just turn to me--I'll be there

[Verse 2]

When hard times knock on your door

And friends don't call by anymore

You feel life's playing tricks on you

But don't despair--I'll be there

[Chorus: David Grant and backing vocals]

When you need someone who will care

Count on me

You can count on me

I'll be there

There's no problem so big we can't share

Count on me

Count on me and I'll be there

[Verse 3]

When acquaintances have changed

Your real friends will remain the same

'Cause nothing in life can replace

A friendship time cannot erase

[Chorus]

When you need someone who will care

Count on me

You can count on me

I'll be there

There's no problem so big we can't share

Count on me

Count on me and I'll be there

When you need someone who will share

Count on me

You can count on me

I'll be there

There's no problem so big we, we can't share

Count on me count on me count on me

I'll be there

[sax solo]

[Chorus]

When you need someone

Count on me

You can count on me

I'll be there

There's no problem so big we can't share

Count on me count on me

Count on me and I'll be there

When you need someone who will care

Count on me

You can count on me

I'll be there

There's no problem so big we can't share

Count on me, count on me

Count on me and I'll be there

Count on me

I'll be there

Count on me

[Outro]

If you want someone to care

Count on me

If you want some loving feel [??]

Count on me

If you want some company

Count on me
