Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Album: Rainbow
- P. Collins -


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 shared the laughter and the pain
And shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cause thre's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've gotta face

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

So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So 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 gotta face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I-I-I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds and
That's the chance I've gotta face

Just take a look at me now
