Got to be there (got to be there)

Got to be there in the morning

When she says hello to the world

Got to be there (got to be there)

Got to be there in her down time

And show her that she's my girl

Oooh, 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 the world beside me

So I got to be there (got to be there)

Got to be there in the morning

And welcome her into my world

And show her that she's my girl

When she says hello world

(Got to be there)

(Got to be there)

I need her sharing the world beside me

That's why I got to be there (got to be there)

Got to be there where it all begins

And that's everywhere she goes

I got to be there so she knows

That when she's with me

She's home (oooh, she's home)

(Oooh, she's home), yea

(Got to be there)

Got to be there, got to be there

(Got to be there)

Got to be there, got to be there

(Got to be there)

Ooh, baby, baby, got to be there, got to be there

(Got to be there)

Got to be there, got to be there

(Got to be there)

Ooh, got to be there, got to be there

(Got to be there)

Ooh, got to be there, got to be there
