Letter To A Friend

I'll be there to hold you by the hand When you need someone to walk you home You know that I'll be there to understand When you call me on the phone I'll be there to watch you when you sleep When you close your eyes at night And I'll be there to keep your secrets kept Cross my heart, hope to die I swear each word is true There's only one thing I wouldn't do I'll be there when you need a real friend I'll be there to listen to your secrets I'll be there and give you all I've got I'll be there when you paint your masterpiece And I'll be right beside your every move I'll give you my eyes so you can see And I'll help you to find the things you've lost When you're busting at the seams I swear each word is true There's only one thing I wouldn't do I ain't gonna love you I ain't gonna love you Nobody wants you like I want you Nobody needs you like I need you You know I would beg and plead, get down on my knees I'd do most anything, it's true But I ain't gonna love you I ain't gonna love you 'Cause I love you I'll be there to love the things you love I'll be the one who knows your middle name Be the only one that you can trust I'll give you the blood that's in my veins I swear these words are true There's only one thing I wouldn't do I ain't gonna love you 'Cause nobody wants you like I want you Nobody needs you like I need you You know I would beg and please, get down on my knees Do most anything for you But I ain't gonna love you I ain't gonna love 'Cause I love you Because I love you --- Letter to a Friend - Bon Jovi
