Subject: I need help with an Oldies 60s Motown/R&B song lyric?

Written By: ChrisBodilyTM on 01/31/05 at 5:34 pm

The lyrics are completely unintelligible to me (Then again, all -- if not most -- lyrics are), but there is an old R&B/Motown song from the 60s that I constantly hear on Oldies radio with the lyrics:

"Iiiiiiii'll be baaaack
And my loooooove will shelter yoooouuuuuuuuu"

I can't even find it on Google or anything, (bleep)!  >:( It's one of those black R&B singers like Otis Redding or Smokey Robinson or one of those dudes.

Thanks for your help! :)

Sounds to me like "Reach Out" by The Four Tops.

I know what you mean Chris - I never could figure out those lyrics either - even thought JT told us what the song is!

It's "I'll be there" not I'll be back.

I always thought the next line was

to love and shelter you

which maybe explains the lack of success with google

This is one of my all time favorite songs!  It's a classic.  Here are the lyrics:

Four Tops - Reach Out I'll Be There Lyrics

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.
I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through
I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through
I'll be there to love and confort you ...(tell me baby)
I'll be there to always see you through...(i'll be there)
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through.
