Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Rainbow: 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition

2000

[Intro]
Mm-mm
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
So take a look at me now
When 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]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
[Chorus]
So take a look at me now
When there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
Said 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
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've gotta take, yeah
[Outro]
Oh
Take a look at me now
Mm-mm
