I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me) Lyrics

There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
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 never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

[Musical Interlude]

There ain't no rope strong enough to bind me look for me honey you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charms
I'll be there ready and a watin' there won't be any hesitation
I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms
So love me if you ever gonna love me...

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.
