Mariah Carey - Subtle Invitation

See it's hard to tell somebody

That you're still somewhat

Attached to the dream

Of being in love once again

When it's clear they've moved

So I sat down and wrote these few words

On the off chance you'd hear

And if you happen to be somewhere listening

You should know I'm still here

If you really need me

Baby just reach out and touch me

You don't ever have to be

Downhearted again

If she hurts you or misleads you

Baby all you ever need to do

Is call me and let love rush in

What can I say, I had a little extra time

So I figured I might as well explain

A couple little things to you

That you probably never knew

Like you'll always be an intrinsic part of me

Even though life goes on

If you really need me

Baby just reach out and touch me

You don't ever have to be

Downhearted again

If she hurts you or misleads you

Baby all you ever need to do

Is call me and let love rush in

And in my love will flow

Like the waves to the shore

You can fall into me

Once again effortlessly

And I'll comfort you so

Your heart won't hurt anymore

I'm waiting patiently

If you really need me

Baby just reach out and touch me

You don't ever have to be

Downhearted again

If she hurts you or misleads you

Baby all you ever need to do

(if she hurts you or misleads you)

Is call me and let love rush in

(you can just call me baby)

If you really need me (if you really need me baby)

Baby just reach out and touch me(reach reach baby)

(reach, baby)

You don't ever have to be

(don't ever hesitate to call me)

Downhearted again

If she hurts you or misleads you(if she hurts you)

(she's a dam fool)

Baby all you ever need to do

Is call me and let love rush in

(all you gotta do is call me boy, I got you)

If you really need me (yeah:.)

Baby just reach out and touch me

(if you're listening to me baby)

You don't ever have to be (like you used to)

Downhearted again

(before I even knew you)

If she hurts you or misleads you

(then you know I'm singing to you)

Baby all you ever need to do

(so I just wanted you to know)

Is call me and let love rush in

(that "anytime you need a friend")

If you really need me

Baby just reach out and touch me

You don't ever have to be in fairy tales

Downhearted again (yours and mine)

If she hurts you or misleads you

Baby all you ever need to do

In that this one's for you
