When hard times come and everyone leaves you
Write two, three words, I'll know where you are
I'll help you then as a friend and brother
Know, for better or worse, I'll be there
When they get harsh and hurt you
Don't be afraid, I'll feel it
And the best I know, I'll end it
Know, for better or worse, I'll be there (×2)
[Chorus] (×2)
Rely on me now, trust me
I'm giving you my word
That for better or worse, I'll be there
To comfort and make you smile
And when you find peace by someone's else side
I'll step back and be happy
I'll share everything with you and guard your peace
But I won't stand in your way
Know, for better or worse, I'll be there
[Chorus] (×2)
I'll be there, believe me, trust me
Believe me, rely on me
I'll be there, believe me, trust me
For better or worse, I'll be there, believe me
Believe me, rely on me
I'll be there, believe me, trust me
For better or worse, I'll be there, believe me
Believe me, rely on me
