Got to be there, got to be there in the morning   When she says hello to the world   Got to be there, got to be there   Bring her good times   And show her that she's my girl      Oh, what a feeling there'll be   The moment I know she loves me   'Cause when I look in her eyes, I realize   I need her sharing her world beside me      So I've got to be there   Got to be there in the morning   And welcome her into my world   And show her that she is my girl   When she says, "Hello world"      I need her sharing her world beside me      That's why I've got to be there   Got to be there where love begins   And that's everywhere she goes   I've got to be there so she knows   That when she's with me, she's home      Got to be there   Got to be there   Got to be there   ...
