Joan Osborne - I'll Be Around lyrics

Originally recorded by The Spinners in 1973. The song was

Written by Thom Bell and Phil Hurtt.

This, is our fork in the road

Love's last episode

There's nowhere to go, oh no

You made your choice, now it's up to me

To bow out gracefully

Though you hold the key, but baby

Whenever you call me, I'll be there

Whenever you want me, I'll be there

Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I'll be around

I, knew just what to say

Now I found out today

That all the words had slipped away, but I know

There's always a chance

A tiny spark remains, yeah

And sparks turn into flames

And love can burn once again, but I know you know

Whenever you call me, I'll be there

Whenever you want me, I'll be there

Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I'll be around...yeah

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 a rippin' it up, I'll be there

I'll be calling out your name to let you know,

I'll be around.
