[Spoken intro]
This next song is made popular
By incredible Jackson 5
And it's always been one of my favorite songs
And I hope it's yours
It's called, "I'll be there"

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I'll be there

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name
And I'll be there

[Chorus: Trey Lorenz]
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad I found you
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
You know I'll keep holding on

[Verse 3: Mariah Carey]
Let me fill your heart
With joy and laughter
Togetherness, well it's all I'm after
Just call my name
I'll be there

[Verse 4: Mariah Carey]
I'll be there to protect you, yeah baby
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name
And I'll be there

[Chorus: Trey Lorenz]
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
You know I'm so glad I found you
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
You know I'll keep holding on

[Verse 5: Mariah Carey]
If you should ever find someone new
I know she'd better be good to you
'Cause if she doesn't
I'll be there
Don't you know baby, yeah, yeah

[Hook: Mariah Carey]
I'll be there
I'll be there
Just call my name
And I'll be there

[Hook: Mariah Carey]
I'll be there, baby
You know I'll be there
Just call my name
And I'll be there

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Just look over your shoulder
Just call my name
And I'll be there

[Spoken Outro: Mariah Carey]
Thank you

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
