[Intro]: E5 F#5 A5 x4
E5 F#5 A5
Look at how she moves, look at how she sways, standing in her pumps and her lingerie
E5 F#5 A5
Comment allez-vous, parlez-vous français, don't know how to act, don't know what to say
E5 F#5 A5
Need a genie and a wish in the very worst way, this type of ish happens everyday
E5 F#5 A5
Type love how I feel, it's so for real, so genuine, it's so sublime
E5 F#5 A5
Baby workin' it putting on a show for me, standing over me, I smell potpourri
E5 F#5 A5
Take it any place that you wanna go with me, just come talk to me like Jodeci
E5 F#5 A5
Got pain in my heart never goes away, baby girl do you really wanna feel it
E5 F#5 A5
Got a lot at stake and a promise to make, and a kiss from your lips could seal it
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be there for you babe, I'll be the one that you need
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be the man that will love you, I'll be there for you babe
E5 F#5 A5
Another loose nut pain in your gut, relationship gone down
E5 F#5 A5
In a bottle of booze you manifest your blues, put on your face and hit the town
E5 F#5 A5
Now that skin tight dress baby might impress the kind of man that you might not like
E5 F#5 A5
First time up with no luck and confusion, got you gambling with just one strike
E5 F#5 A5 E5
You need more than conversation and introduction calls, you need someone to catch you when you fall
F#5 A5
You fly like an eagle when you fight, cause you're on my mind
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be there for you babe, I'll be the one that you need
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be the man that will love you, I'll be there for you babe
E5 F#5 A5
Look at how she sways, look at how she moves, time to show him who don't disturb the groove
E5 F#5 A5
She's got hazel eyes and hair that's gold, an amazing heart and an angel soul
E5 F#5 A5
She used to be a sinner, but now she's saved, she's well respected and she's well behaved
E5 F#5 A5
Her fuse is short, her legs are long, her temper's mean, her will is strong
E5 F#5 A5
Her love's so real, her love's so deep, her love's so true, it's so hard to keep
E5 F#5 A5
Her scent is sweet, her beauty is rare, when we walk down the street people stop and stare
E5 F#5 A5
She's so damn smart, she's one of a kind, she's a work of art, she's a priceless wine
E5 F#5 A5
She's a drama queen, she's a friend of mine, she's every man's dream and she's mine, all mine
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be there for you babe, I'll be the one that you need
E5 F#5 A5 E5 F#5 A5
I'll be the man that will love you, I'll be there for you babe
