If You Really Want To
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you're all alone
And after all the changes you've been through today
You can use a little tenderness, right now
O.K. -- I've been alone
And I can understand the way you feel tonight
Maybe together we can change it all right now
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
If you really want to
I'd love to hold you
If you really want to
Then I'd love to be the body
That you hold onto
You say, he broke your heart
He left you crying, but he did not set you free
And now you feel like you can never love again
O.K. -- So let me know
It's up to you how long you let his memory stay
And do you really want to carry on this way
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
If you really want to
I'd love to hold you
If you really want to
Then I'd love to be the body
That you hold onto
If you really want to
If you really want to
Then I really can't deny you
So many things you need to know
So many left to say
But, you mean more than words I know
I can help you chase the pain away
I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto
