To me this is one of a handful of real timeless classics - a song where the music, lyrics, arrangement, musicianship and production just clicked well. Every time I hear it on the radio or tv the volume always get cranked up. I so identified with the song's lyrics many times years ago in my young adulthood. A lot of guys I'm sure could relate to it at least once in their life. But until recently I didn't realize the last couple lines of lyrics took it from being about a hurt, but gallant and noble guy who just got dumped pledging his love and support and his desire to reunite with the woman who dumped into kind of a creepy (IMO) stalker kind of guy.
"Whenever you call me, I'll be there Whenever you want me, I'll be there EVEN IF I HAVE TO CALL, I'll be there I'll be around...
Just call me on the phone, I'll be there I'll NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE, I'll be there Just call out my name, I KNOW, I KNOW YOU KNOW I'll be around.....
I'll be STANDIN' IN A COFFIN, I'll be there I'LL BE RIPPIN' IT UP, I'll be there I'LL BE CALLING OUT YOUR NAME TO LET YOU KNOW I'LL BE AROUND.....
