[Verse 1]
I think I'd better be going
Can't stand this much longer
My heart's getting weak
Not getting any stronger

[Verse 2]
I know I'm a man, now
And I'm old enough to understand
When love goes separate ways
That love can be replaced

[Verse 3]
But, I don't want nobody else
I just want you to myself
But I can't have you, things are not the same
And, darling, you're not to blame
But, I'll go on my way
Until I hear somebody say:

[Chorus]
"I'll be with you, I'll be with you
I'll be with you all the way"

[Bridge]
Until that time, I'll just try to stand my ground
Although my true love is not around
Well, I'll go on and do the very best I can
And hope that someday she'll understand

[Verse 4]
I don't want nobody else
I just want you to myself
But I can't have you, things are not the same
And, darling, you're not to blame
But, I'll go on my way
Until I hear somebody say:

[Chorus]
"I'll be with you, I'll be with you
I'll be with you all the way"

[Outro]
All the way
Oh, all the way
All the way
Uh, huh, I know it's dark
But I'll try to stand my ground
