[Verse 1]
If you're lonely
And you feel you need a friend
And troubles seem like
They never end
Just remember
You got to keep the faith
And my love will be there
To lighten up the way, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
Oh, oh yeah, be here
Never be lonely
Whoa, oh
Would you ever be lonely?
Would you ever be lonely?
Would you ever be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Would you ever be lonely?
Would you ever be lonely?
Would you ever be lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
[Verse 2]
And when the shadows are closing in
And you feel like your spirit's diminishing
Well, just remember wherever you're from
That you're never alone
And forever, the strength of my love will keep guiding you home
[Pre-Chorus]
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
Anytime you need me
Anytime you want me
Don't ever be lonely
It's alright
[Chorus 2]
When you need a friend
I will be here
You're never alone
So don't you fear
Though you're miles away
I'm by your side
You're never alone
It's alright
When you need a friend
I will be here
You're never alone
So don't you fear
Though you're miles away (No matter where you are)
