You don't have to break your heart
In two my love
You don't have to play a part
It's you I love
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else again
You don't have to rescue me
You don't have to watch me drown
You don't have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
You don't have to dress yourself up
Or stay the same
You don't have to smile
If I say smile
You don't have to be the best
You don't have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing
Be there, my love
Just be there, my love
If you want the whole of me
That's all you'll get
I'll sing this song
I'd give my health
Give it all
You don't have to...
Ah, she comes on by
She says, I need you, my love
Ah, she says, all I want is you
You don't have to play your little game
If I fall apart
You don't have to work those strings
Or do those things
You're enough in my heart
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
In two my love
You don't have to play a part
It's you I love
You don't have to hide from yourself
You don't have to be someone else again
You don't have to watch me drown
You don't have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Or stay the same
You don't have to smile
If I say smile
You don't have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing
Just be there, my love
That's all you'll get
I'll sing this song
I'd give my health
Give it all
You don't have to...
She says, I need you, my love
Ah, she says, all I want is you
If I fall apart
You don't have to work those strings
Or do those things
You're enough in my heart
You don't have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight

Rough and relatively early U2, this song has a strange sort of appeal. The lyrics are almost trite, but they still speak to a universal human experience (like all U2 lyrics) and maintain their charm. Bottom line: we're all looking for somebody special to "be there" when we fall and to fall back upon...
All of u2's songs have some biblical connection.. So normally its difficult to comment.. But this one i think is about complete acceptance of somebody you love.. YOu don't try to change the person you love, but just love them the way they are..
i havnt heard this song but judging by the lyrics it id great does anyone know wher i can hear it
~Luv these lyrics.. i want to know where i can hear it, too~
This song was never released. You have to look for a bootleg. Try doing a bit torrent search for U2 - War & Unforgettable Fire Demos.
Rumor has it this was from the November 1981 session with Clash producer Sandy Perlman.
it's a 1893 b-side.. my fav U2 song.. i was never that much in U2, but this song is amazin
