Got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
When she says hello to the world
I've got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times, oh
Then 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! (go to be there, got to be there)
I need her sharing the 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
And I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home (home, she's home)
(Home, she's home) Yeah

Got to be there, got to be there, to be there
Got to be there, oh baby baby, got to be there, to be there
Got to be there, got to be there, to be there
Got to be there, got to be there...
Got to be there, got to be there, to be there

Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
