  • 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) Writer/s: Eliot Kennedy, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Jonathan Buck, MELANIE BROWN, Melanie Chisolm, Victoria Beckham

  • Shawn from Green Bay, WiUnique thing about the Spice Girls was that they all sang, and they were all different. Originally put together for a young male audience, the majority of their fans ended up being young women. This is a very catchy pop song and very successful even though it is their only hit where their widely recognized best singer, Mel C, doesn't sing a verse. The video is completely nonsensical though enjoyable to watch, especially if you're a man.
  • Rachel from Cleveland, Alwow i've never realized that the spice girls were known worldwide like that well if yall really are from australia and england and etc. i wish i was from some other place well any where but alabama. any way the spice girls rock i love their fashion at least when they're wearing clothes.
  • Mike from Hueytown , AlThis song is about half assed but the video was easy on the eyes
  • Mark from Medicine HatThey are getting back together for a series of concerts.
  • Free from Over Here, CanadaDamn!!! I still love Them Spice s!!! My Favourite was BabySpice!! man... I forgot how the songs sound and what they called
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesEven if the Spice Girls did launch a comeback, I doubt they'd reach the same heights as in the late 90s - their last album released in 2001 flopped, and all solo singles from the girls from 2002 onwards have had little or no impact. Where they went wrong was in that they became far too overblown, and I think that in the end people basically just got sick of them
  • Jen from Freddy BeachI havent heard this song in AGES!! I miss it...i still know like the whole song off by heart cuz i've heard it so many times...apparently the spice girls are back together and are touring and if they come anywhere near here my friend and i are going to see them!!
  • Sarah Floyd from Bloomingdale, Ili like this song. and i have the cd and the movie. so its exciting for me.NOT!!!!!!. ok maybe a little exciting for me. so thats all. so thats awesome for some of you people.
  • Thomas from Borehamwood, Englandthe video was so funny. tue Spice Girls style. they will be back soon don't you worry!
  • Wolf Chinnery from Hemel Hempstead,,, EnglandAfter believing that the success they had attained truly was completely their own making,they promptly sacked the one visionary who created them.Handing control to Geri Halliwell signalled the beginning of the end.Girl power was a sham eagerly propped up by the record label for obvious reasons.This is a well crafted pop song which deserved more able an artist or artists to give it credit. Spice Girls,,,an embarrassing episode in the annals of popular music,,,let them rest,deeply,in peace.
  • Casie from Denver, CoWhen I was smaller I use to love the Spice Girls. I mean cmon their like barbies but yea,this song was pretty cool. The video didnt make that much sence but it was funny where they had the dude on top of the car. FUN!!! lol
  • Mercedes from Portland Yah!, OrI LOVE SPICE GIRLS STILL!!!! i wish they came back i have all there fricken cds there awsome and if anyone thiks otherwise is missen out
  • Kat from Sydney, AustraliaGeri got a tattoo of a black panther on the set! (so sad, i have 2 of the videos!)
