Question
Hallo Bong! actually my name is also Bong, but I love that song that says Wherever you go, I'll be with you, Whatever you want I'll give to you, Whenever you need someone to let your heart.....I don't know the title and the artist but I love to listen it every weekend on the radio. Thanks also for the song Earthquake by The Flirtations, now I am downloading it from limewire. I know it was Earthquake but I don't know the artist. I was searching and I found your answer. Thanks. Cyrus

Answer
Dear Cyrus (or BONG),

Thanks too for writing in always. Sorry for the delay answering your question.
The song is THE FLAME by CHEAP TRICK and it is from their 1988 album LAP OF LUXURY. THE FLAME spent 2 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 on July 9, 1988. Here's how it goes:

THE FLAME / CHEAP TRICK

Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
Im going crazy, Im losing sleep.
Im in too far, Im in way too deep over you.
I cant believe youre gone.
You were the first, youll be the last.

Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But Ive been hit by lightening.
Just cant stand up for fallin apart.
Cant see through this veil across my heart, over you.
Youll always be the one.
You were the first, youll be the last.

Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Im going crazy, Im losing sleep.
Im in too far, Im in way too deep over you.
Youll always be the one.
You were the first, youll be the last.

Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Whatever you want, Ill give it to you.
Wherever you go, Ill be with you.
And whatever you want, Ill give it to you.

Maraming salamat po!
