Arif Mardin - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) lyrics

[Verse 1] How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all [Chorus] So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face [Verse 2] I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all [Chorus] So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face Now take a look at me now, cause there's just an empty space But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face [Outro] Take a good look at me now, cause I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take Take a look at me now
