I'll Be There (if You Ever Want Me) There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I'll never have seen a river that's too wide There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me Ain't no man big enough to stop me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road to ruff to ride There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side Now there ain't no rope tight enough to bind me Look for me honey you will find me Any old time your ready with your charm I'll be there ready and a waitin' there won't be any hesitation I'll be right here if you ever want me in your arms So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road to ruff to ride There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
