Against All Odds (Mariah Only) Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) EP

2000

[Verse 1]
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
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
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
[Verse 2]
Turn around and see me cry
So many reasons why
[Chorus]
So take a look at me now
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'll still be standing here (Standing here)
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've gotta take
(Chance I've gotta take, gotta take)
[Outro]
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
