[Chorus]
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby

[Verse 1]
At some point, sometime you'll need
Someone there for you, and I will be the one
So whenever you need, don't be afraid of me
Call on me, and I will give to you

[Chorus]
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby

[Verse 2]
All you want, you need, my time
I wanna give because
You're a special part of me
See, I know you need many things to feel complete
That's why you should never have to hesitate

[Bridge]
No matter what you think
I'm gonna always do things for you, girl
I will take care of you
My word is all you need
And you'll see that I'll, I'll never let you down
No, no, no, no
And I'll be there for you, baby
I will never let you down

[Chorus]
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby

[Bridge]
No matter what you think
I'm gonna always do things for you, girl
I will take care of you
My word is all you need
And you'll see that I'll, I'll never let you down
So...

[Chorus]
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby
Don't you take your love from me
I'll be there
You can always count on me, baby

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
