Count on Me

Bruno Mars

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there and I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two

You'll be there

Cause that's what friends are suppose to do

Oh, yeah

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

(Yeah, yeah)

If you tossing and you turning and you just can't fall asleep I'll sing a song beside you

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me

Everyday I will remind you Oh

Find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two

You'll be there

Cause that's what friends are suppose to do

Oh, yeah

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

(Yeah, yeah)

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

I'll never let go, never say good bye

You know you can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it

I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are suppose to do

Oh, yeah

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

(Ooh ooh ooh uh uh)

You can count on me, 'cause I can count on you
