You Can Depend on Me
Unwavering Love: You Can Always Depend on Me - Brenda Lee
Lyrics
Though you say we're through
Expressing acknowledgment of a breakup or separation
I'll always love you
Declaring enduring love despite the breakup
And you can depend on me
Assuring the ex-partner of reliability and support
Though someone that you've met
Acknowledging the presence of a new person in the ex-partner's life
Has made you forget
Suggesting that the new person has replaced memories of the speaker
Honey, you know
Reassuring the ex-partner of the speaker's dependability
You can count on me
Emphasizing the reliability and support the speaker offers
When I wish, I wish you success
Expressing well-wishes for the ex-partner's success and happiness
And loads, loads of happiness
Wishing abundance of joy for the ex-partner
But baby, I gotta confess
Admitting a personal struggle or emotional challenge
I'll be lonely
Admitting potential loneliness despite the breakup
If you ever, ah, if you ever need a friend
Offering friendship and support if the ex-partner needs it
I'll be yours until the end
Promising dedication and support until the end
And you can depend on me
Reiterating dependability and commitment
I wish you success
Repeating wishes for success and happiness
And loads of happiness
Reiterating hopes for the ex-partner's happiness
But, darling, I gotta confess
Confessing the speaker's potential loneliness in the future
I'm gonna be lonely
Acknowledging the speaker's emotional vulnerability
Oh if you ever, ah, if you ever need a friend
Repeating the offer of friendship and support
I'll be right by your side ah, until the end
Promising to be there for the ex-partner until the end
And you can depend on me
Reaffirming dependability and support
