Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh-ooh
La, da-da, da-da, da
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
If you really need me
Baby, just reach out and touch me
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(Na, na-na-na-na-na)
If she hurts you or misleads you
Baby, all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in
[Verse 5]
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, ooh
[Verse 6]
If you really need me
(Need)
Baby, just reach out and touch me
(Oh, baby)
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(No, na-na-na-na-na-na)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(Yeah, oh, na)
Baby, all you ever need to do
(Ah, na)
Is call me and let love rush in
(Baby)
[Verse 7]
And then 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
[Verse 8]
If you really need me
(Really)
Baby, just reach out and touch me
(Really)
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(Oh, no)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(If she hurts you or misleads)
Baby, all you ever need to do
Is call me and let love rush in
(If ya really need me, baby)
[Verse 9]
If you really need me
(Need, reach, babe)
Baby, just reach out and touch me
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(Don't ever have to fight to call me, yeah)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(If she hurts you)
Baby, all you ever need to do
(She's a devil)
Is call me and let love rush in
(All you gotta do is call me, boy, I got you)
[Verse 10]
If you really need me
(Yeah, yeah)
Baby, just reach out and touch me
(If ya listen to me, baby)
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(Like you used to before I even knew you)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(Then you know I'm singing to you)
Baby, all you ever need to do
(So I Just wanted you to call)
Is call me and let love rush in
(That anytime you need a friend, I'm here)
[Verse 11]
If you really need me
Baby, just reach out and touch me
(You can still believe in fairy tales)
You don't ever have to be downhearted again
(Yeah, yours and mine)
If she hurts you or misleads you
(So if by chance you take a listen)
Baby, all you ever need to do
(I'm quite sure you know that this was hard)
Is call me and let love rush in
