By your side by Sade

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you are down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when
you want
And if only you could see into me

Oh when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me

When you're on the outside
baby and you can't get in
I'll show you you're so much
Better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you darling and
I'll bring you home

And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time
You'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down
When you are down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when
you want
And if only you could see into me

Oh when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh when you're low
I'll be there
By your side baby

Oh when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh when you're low
I'll be there
By your side baby
