Lyrics
There is someone walking behind you
Turn around, look at me
There is someone watching your footsteps
Turn around, look at me
There is someone who really needs you
It’s my heart in my hand
Turn around (turn around)
Look at me (look at me)
Understand, understand
And there’s someone to stand beside you
Turn around, look at me
And there’s someone to love and guide you
Turn around, look at me
Oh, I’ve waited and I’ll wait forever
For you to come to me
Look at someone (look at someone)
Who really loves you, yeah, loves you
Turn around, look at me
Turn around, look at me
