Wanna Be There

[Intro: R. Kelly] Things that I have to say to you You need to hear And I know we've got some rebuildin', oh But I believe time will heal [Verse 1: R. Kelly] Anything that you wanna do Baby girl I'mma support you And anything that you're going through I swear, I will be there for you, you It's been so many years so I know it feels awkward Know you had to tuck all your tears in your school locker And I understand your position And why your heart went missin' And things that you wondered [Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly] Oh oh-ooh I know that you mad at me, thinkin' that I didn't care Talk to me, cause [Chorus: R. Kelly] I just wanna be there When you conquer the world I just wanna be there But no matter how successful baby girl When you need someone to lean on, I just wanna be your shoulder When you need someone to call on, I wanna be the one to hold ya I just wanna be there (Be there, Be there, Be there) I just wanna be there [Verse 2: R. Kelly] Call me back when I be calling you Cause I be feelin' like I'm stalking you And I know you've got issues with rejection, oh I'm just being honest, I know what you're thinking, never did I neglect ya, no Cause I love you too much Jo And I would just kill myself before I do anything to hurt ya One hunnid, all I ever wanted to do is please you And I don't know what happened to us but I need you [Chorus: R. Kelly] I just wanna be there When you conquer the world I just wanna be there But no matter how successful baby girl When you need someone to lean on, I just wanna be your shoulder When you need someone to call on, I wanna be the one to hold ya I just wanna be there (Be there, Be there, Be there) I just wanna be there [Verse 3: Ariirayé] I know that there were so many things going on And there were some times I thought I wouldn't make it But my brothers and me kept each other strong How do I tell 'em why you're not there When I don't even know myself I hate you, I love you, I do and I don't wanna see you You tell us you need us but that we just need to believe you My heart is broke, it's so hard to cope And every night I cry out to heaven cause I need you both more And sometimes it was easy to not say anything My mind was at war, "Baby, you're not the enemy" And it still feels like we're miles away But I can meet you halfway cause at the end of the day [Chorus: R. Kelly, (Ariirayé) & Duet] I just wanna be there Be there for you, yeah, yeah When you conquer the world I just wanna be there But no matter how successful baby girl When you need someone to lean on, I just wanna be your shoulder When you need someone to call on, I wanna be the one to hold ya I just wanna be there (Be there, Be there, Be there) 3x I just wanna be there
