Know you can count on me Know you can count on me Know you can count on me To get so up for it Know you can count on me I'll get so up for it I know at least I'll try Who am I if I'm not up for it Where are you if I'm not up for it Want to put a bubble round you With a force field switch Keep you secured just a little bit But I know a secret child is just A silly trick Who grows up to lose a force field switch In between a hands on and a hands off Apprenticeship Where are you if I'm not up for it I'll get up for it Know you can count on me Know you can count on me Know you can count on me To get so up for it Know you can count on me I'll get so up for it Know at least I'll try
