"You Can Depend on Me" is a song written by Charles Carpenter, Louis Dunlap and Earl "Fatha" Hines.[1] and first recorded by Louis Armstrong (1931[2] and 1951). It should not be confused with the song of the same name, "(You Can) Depend on Me," recorded by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles in 1959.
Though you say we're through I'll always love you And you can depend on me Though someone that you met Has made you forget Honey, you know, you can count on me Well, I wish, I wish you success And loads, loads of happiness But, baby, I've gotta confess I'll be lonely If you ever, ah, if you ever need a friend I'll be yours until the end And you can depend on me I wish you success And loads of happiness But, darling, I've gotta confess I'm gonna be lonely Oh, if you ever, ah, if you ever need a friend I'll be right by your side, ah, until the end And you can depend on me
