When you're losin' direction   Baby you can depend on me   For a little love and affection   You can depend me   If ya feel broken hearted and you just can't get started   You can depend on me   Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue   There'll be times you feel so empty ya sometimes I feel it too      Chorus      Like sister to brother - father to mother   We live for each other - we're lover to lover   As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion   I'm forever open - can't you see   Baby you can depend on me   Depend on me - depend on me      For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on   You can depend on me   If you're in need of some kindness and you can't seem to find it   You can depend on me   Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along   Those dark clouds may surround you but together we'll be strong      Chorus      Your love is a guiding light   I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby   When hard times are all around   And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me   There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me   When hope is gone and all is lost   Just reach out - take my hand   I'll be there - I'll be your man   Depend on me
