LYRICS:
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
And now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
well I never ever thought that would be (hey)
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
(give you everything)
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you
will be there
Say you will be there (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 (all the joy) can bring
This I swear (yes I swear)
And (and) all that I want from you
(all I want from you) is a promise you
(is a 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 a promise you
(want to promise you) you'll be there
(I'll 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 a promise you
(want to promise you) you'll be there
(I'll be there)
*starts fading*
I'm giving you everything
all that joy can bring yes i swear. (yes i swear)
*fades*
DESCRIPTION:
The music video for "Say You'll Be There" was directed by Vaughan Arnell, produced by Adam Saward and filmed in the Mojave Desert, located primarily in California, United States.
The video features the group as a band of female techno-warriors, who use martial arts and high-tech ninja influenced weapons to capture a hapless male who happens to appear in his Chevrolet Corvair Rampside pick-up truck. The clip is presented as a narrative, with movie credits at the start introducing the Spice Girls as fantastic characters. The shots of male bondage are unexplained, and function as symbols of male disempowerment, just as the rest of the clip serves to assert the power and fighting abilities of the women, at the end the confused apparent pursuer is carried off on the roof of a car as a trophy. Other vehicles that featured in the video included a Plymouth Superbird (or a replica thereof).
The video was inspired by the films Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Pulp Fiction, the latter in which led the girls to adopt fictional identities, an idea that Halliwell came up with, Melanie Chisholm played "Katrina Highkick", Geri Halliwell's alter-ego was "Trixie Firecracker", Emma Bunton took on the role of "Kung Fu Candy", Victoria Beckham played "Midnight Miss Suki", while "Blazin' Bad Zula" was Melanie Brown's alter-ego.
The making of this video is featured on the VHS: One Hour Of Girl Power. Two versions of this video exist, there is the original, and a version that omits the scenes which include the man, played by Tony Ward, captured and tied down. The video won Best Pop Video at the 1996 Smash Hits! Awards, Best Video at the 1997 BRIT Awards, and was nominated for Viewer's Choice at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.
