Whenever youre near me
I give you everything I have
Someone to believe in
When things are good and when theyre bad
You know how to please me
Ooh, like nobody can
Someone to believe in
Be my love and be my friend

When every race [bad word] and the day is closing in
I feel the need to hold you
Let the night begin [bad word] softly to me
Show me why

Whenever youre near me
I give you everything I have
Someone to believe in
When things are good and when theyre bad
You know how to please me
Ooh, like nobody can
Someone to believe in
Be my love and be my friend

I cannot wait to feel
The beating of your heart
The days are long
Theyre just keeping us apart [bad word] softly to me
Show me why

Whenever youre near me
I give you everything I have
Someone to believe in
When things are good and when theyre bad
You know how to please me
Oooh, like nobody can
Someone to believe in
Be my love and be my friend

Whenever youre near me

Love is the reason
We can feel this way inside
Oh oh
Turning the world around and making us wild
Love is the music
Beating in our hearts tonight
Oh oh, lighting the way
To take us deeper inside

Whenever youre, whenever youre near me
I give you everything I have
Someone to believe in
When things are good and when theyre bad
You know how to please me
Oooh, like nobody can
Someone to believe in
Be my love and be my friend

Whenever youre near me
Someone to believe in
When things are good and when theyre bad
You know how to please me
Someone to believe in
Be my love and be my friend

Whenever youre near me
