Geschreven door het beroemde schrijverscollectief Holland/Dozier/Holland.
In Nederland was het de eerste van 14 hits voor de Four Tops. Het
verscheen op 15 oktober 1966 in de Top 40 en haalde de 10e plaats.
Van de Four Tops staat ook hun tweede hit in Nederland (It’s the same
old song) op het repertoire van de Meezingers (en Walk away Renee).
De groep werd opgeheven in 1973, maar in de jaren tachtig heropgericht.
Tot 1989 scoorden de Four Tops nog een aantal hits.
Now if you feel that you can't go on (you can't go on)
Because all of your hope is gone (all your hope is gone)
And your life's filled with much confusion (much confusion)
Until happiness is just an illusion (happiness is just an illusion)
And your world around is crumbling down
Darling, (reach out) come on girl, reach out for me! (reach out)
Reach out for me!
When you feel lost, and about to give up (to give up)
'Cause your best just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And you feel the world has blown cold (has grown cold)
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through
And you're tr
ippin' out all on your own (trippin' out all on your own)
And you need a hand to hold
Darling, (reach out) come on girl, reach out for me! (reach out)
Reach out for me!
I'll be there, to love and comfort you
And I'll be there, to cherish and care for you
(I'll be there, to always see you through)
(I'll be there, to love and comfort you)
I can tell the way you hang your head (hang your head)
You're alone now, now you're afraid (you're afraid)
And through your tears you look around (look around)
But there's no peace of mind to be found (no peace of mind to be
found)
I know what you're thinking: you're alone now, no love of your own!
But darling, (reach out) come on girl, reach out for me! (reach out)
Reach out!
Just look over your shoulder!
I'll be there, to give you all the love you need
And I'll be there, you can always depend on me
(I'll be there, to always see you through)
(I'll be there, to love and comfort you)...
