Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)

How can I just

Let you walk away?

Just let you leave

Without a trace

When I stand here

Taking every breath

With you, oh

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

So take a look at me now,

Who has just an empty space

And there's nothing left here

To remind me,

Just the memory of your face

Well take a look at me now,

Who has just an empty space

And you coming back to me

Is against the odds

And that's

What I've got to face

I wish I could

Just make you turn around,

Turn around to 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,

Who has 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 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

It's the chance

I've gotta take

Take a look at me now
