Subtle Invitation

Hmm Hmm

Ladada dada da

Ooh ooh

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 on

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

(Na nana na na na)

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 (need)

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

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 (baby)

And then 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)

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, you can just call me, baby)

Is call me and let love rush in (yeah)

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

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

You don't ever have to be (don't ever hesitate to call me, yeah)

Downhearted again

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

Baby, all you ever need to do (she's a damn fool)

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, 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 that)

Is call me and let love rush in (anytime you need a friend)

If you really need me (I'm here)

Baby, just reach out and touch me (you can still believe in fairytales)

You don't ever have to be

Downhearted again (yeah, yeah, yours and mine)

If she hurts you or misleads you (so if by chance you take a listen)

Baby, all you ever need to do (I'm quite sure you know that this one's for you)

Is call me and let love rush in ('cause I'm giving my all)
