Baby when you're down

I'll be around

Baby when you're lost

I'll be your found

When the night is long

I'll be the crack of dawn

Baby when you take a shot

I'll be your sweet spot

Baby when you need to float

I'll be your lifeboat

When you want to play along

I'll be your Mah Jong

When you've done your best

I'll be your day of rest

Baby when you take a shot

I'll be your sweet spot

I'll be your sweet spot



Baby when you're falling off your feet

Out on a road that's rough and steep

And you're looking for a state of grace

I'll be your leap of faith

Baby when you're growing old

I'll be your solid gold

When your ship don't come in

I'll be your thick and thin

When your love is blind

I'll be your walk the line

When you've given all you've got

I'll be your sweet spot
