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 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 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 Is call me and let love rush in And in 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 she hurts you or misleads you

you can just call me baby If you really need me baby Reach, reach No, don't ever hesitate to call me Downhearted again And if she hurts you, she's a damn fool! All you gotta do is call me, boy

I got you Yeah, yeah If you're listening to me baby Like you used to Before I even knew you Then you know I'm singing to you So I just wanted you to know That "anytime you need a friend" I'm here, you can still believe In fairy tales Yours and mine So if by chance you take a listen
