This is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, you made your choice
Now it's up to me, to bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around

I knew just what to say, now I found out today
Although the words have slipped away, but I know
There's always a chance, a tiny spark will remain yeah
And sparks turn into flames and love can burn once again

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
I'll be around

I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around

All you got to say
If you really want me

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
