Talk to Me - Paul Carrack

Talk to me

I wanna be the friend that I should be

Don’t you turn me down

Let me be there for you this time around

When it seems like the world is on your shoulder

It’s a feeling I recognise

To tell the truth, we’re all getting older

That makes it easier to empathise

It’s you I care about

So get right to it and let it out

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me

You’ve always been the one

To lend a helping hand to anyone

And so it started crying

For you to get a little help this time

Everybody needs someone to turn to

When it’s cold and dark outside

Maybe I can help you through a bad time

If you’ll only put away your pride

Because it’s only fair

I’m there for you, so don’t despair

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me

Tell me if you’d rather be alone

Maybe you just need a little space

I can’t believe there’s nothing we can do

To put a little smile back on your face

Why don’t you talk to me

Don’t leave me tryin' solve the mystery

You’ve gotta help yourself

No point retreating back into your shell

Don’t turn your back on me

Don’t hide your problems in secrecy

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me

You know I’m listening

You can talk to me
