Got To Be There Lyrics

Got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there
Got to be there bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl
Oh oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me!

Cause when I look in her eyes
I realize
I need her sharing the world beside me!

So I've...
Got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she's my girl
When she says hello.....World! (Got to be there)
I need her sharing the world beside me!

That's why I...
Got to be there
Got to be there when love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me....She's home! (Home she's home, home she's home)

Yeah
Got to be there, got to be there
Got to be there
Got to be there, got to be there
Got to there

Got to be there, Oh baby got to be there
Got to be there..... (Repeat until fades)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Nice little song about wanting to always be there with the one that you love. I always thought he meant that he'd dream of her and then in the morning his dream came true. ;)

I always thought this song was about seeing your new born child, how much you love the baby and want to show her the world for the first time. Also, to let her know that her place in the world is with him.
