They Just Want You to Be There - Carly Simon

They don’t care if you brush your hair

They just care that you’re there

They don’t mind if you stay upstairs

They just care that you’re there

They don’t know if you’re all you’ve ever wanted to be

Or if life has answered your prayers

They just want you to be there

They just want you to be there

They don’t mind if you’re mad and yell

As long as it’s not at them

Doesn’t matter you’re sad, they can tell

It’s not because of them

They don’t know that you’re striving to be someone

And you’re not sure how you will fare

They just want you to be there

They just want you to be there

They just want you to be there

Just as long as you’re somewhat right

You can do no wrong

Their trusting eyes looking up at you

Believing you’re so strong

They don’t know that in time they’ll grow into your shoes

They’ll pound the ground and they’ll swear

But they’ll want you to be there

They just want you to be there

They just want you to be there

And you know, I know, you know, I know, it’s clear

A thousand percent for you, I am, I am, I’m here

And you know I know I know you know it’s clear

A thousand percent for you I am, I am I’m here

A thousand percent for you I am, I am, I am, I’m here

And I know, I know, I know

And I know, I know, it’s clear

And I know, I know, I know, it’s clear
