Against All Odds

Mariah Carey( 瑪麗亞凱莉 ) Against All Odds歌詞
1.Against All Odds(Take A Look At Me Now)

Lyrics:Phil Collins
Music:Phil Collins

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
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Oh 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
there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

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
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

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
But to wait for you
is All I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause l'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take

Take a look at me now


2.Crybaby

(Mariah Carey - Howie Hersh - Snoop Doggy Dogg - Trey Lorenz -
Timothy Gatlin - Gene Griffin - Aaron Hall III - Teddy Riley)
(featuring Snoop Dogg)

When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry

Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that dep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're
Trying to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new

CHORUS:
Late at night like a little child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Sipping Bailey's Cream
By the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow
'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And try to forget you

REPEAT CHORUS

SNOOP's VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS (3X)


3.Thank God I Found You

Written:Mariah Carey/James Harris Iii/Terry Lewis
Artist:Mariah Carey/Joe/98 Degrees

I would give up everything
Before I'd separate
Myself from you
After so much suggering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself
For the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache
Would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

CHORUS:
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

I will give you everything
There's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
To insure your happiness
I cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me
I can't survive
Don't want to try
If you're keeping me warm
Each and every night
I'll be alright
Because I need you in my life

REPEAT CHORUS

See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess
It shows that we were
Destined to shine
after the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

REPEAT CHORUS


4.Can't Take That Away(Mariah's Theme)

Lyrics:Mariah Carey
Music:Diane Warren

They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

They can do anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in my
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
