Say You'll Be There Lyrics


Say You'll Be There!
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
Last time, that we had this conversation,
I decided we should be friends...hey!
But now, we're going round in circles,
Tell me will this deja vu never end...oh!
Now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
Well I never ever thought that would be...eh!
This time, you gotta take it easy,
Throwing far too much emotions at me!
But any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand.
I'm, giving you everything,
All that joy can bring, this I swear.
I give you everything
And, all that I want from you
Is the promise you, will be there
Say you will be there...yeah!
Oow! Say you will be there!
Won't you sing it with me?
If you, put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for...oh!
If you, can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me,
It would be better left unsaid
I'm (I'm)
Giving you everything (I give you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And (and)
All that I want from you (all I want from you)
Is the promise you (is the promise you)
Will be there
Yeah! I want you!
Any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand
I'll give you everything on this I swear,
Just promise you'll always be there!
I'm, giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And, all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is the promise you (want you to promise too)
Will be there (always be there)
I'm, giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And, all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is the promise you (want you to promise too)
Will be there (always be there)
I'm, giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes I swear)
And, all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is the promise you (want you to promise too)
Will be there (always be there)

Say You'll Be There
  • The Spice Girls recorded this song in the home studio of their producer Elliot Kennedy. Mel C explained: "We recorded it in our trackies and socks. It was a cool vibe, dead laid-back. A lot of sentiment in the song is to do with what we've been through together. We've always been there for each other, so we wrote about that."
  • The girls play fictitious characters in the video, which was filmed in the Mojave Desert in the summer of 1996. The characters' names were Katrina Highkick (played by Melanie Chisholm), Trixie Firecracker (played by Geri Halliwell), Kung Fu Candy (played by Emma Bunton), Midnight Miss Suki (played by Victoria Addams Beckham), and Blazin' Bad Zula (played by Melanie Brown).
  • This entered the US charts at #5, which is the highest entry by a European artist.
  • In February of 1997, this won a Brit Award for Best Video. In addition, the Spice Girls' previous hit, "Wannabe," won for Best Song.
  • On April 12, 1997, the Spice Girls performed this song and "Wannabe" on Saturday Night Live. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for all above)
