Why do you show your face
At three in the morning

Don’t come and tell me
That you are too busy

When you can’t call me,
You’re still thinking of me

I’m not expecting you
To love me or need me
A
But be there
Because you wanna be
E E E

Be there because you wanna be

Gotta be there
Because you wanna be

You’re always on the run,
You don’t have a minute

I get sick of it

No matter what you do
It’s always top secret

If it’s a part time lover you need
Then tell me

You don’t have to worry!

Don’t try to lie or playing games
With me Honey!

But be there
Because you wanna be

I’m not the kinda guy
That you can fool around with

You better change
your attitude with me

‘Cause I deserve to get the best
And nothing less
E
That’s just the way it’s gotta be!
[Chorus]

Be there because you wanna be
D
And surely not because
you’re supposed to be

‘Cause I don’t wanna be
a chore on your to do list

Gotta be there
Because you wanna be
