Lyrics

You and me, we've come a long way you know, baby. 
But we've still got a long way to go, maybe. 
Even if we don't have too much to show for it. 

No matter what happens I'll always be here for you. 
In the hard times I know love will see us through. 
'Cause you know I will do whatever I have to do, girl. 

Depend on me, 
I'll always be around. 
Depend on me 
'Cause I won't let you down. 

Everything, every way, 
You know that every time, every day, 
I do it all for you. 
You can depend on me. 

Every hour and every minute, 
In all I do my heart is in it. 
Give my life for you, 
You can depend on me 

One, two, three, go! 

Depend on me 
Depend on me 
Depend on me
