Subtle Invitation (Live)

[Intro] Oh godness, okay... You may know this one if you know my catalog If not, it's something new from the Charmbracelet album, back in the day... [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 You heart won't hurt anymore I'm waiting patiently [Chorus] 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 (If she hurts you or misleads you) Is call me and let love rush in (You can just call me baby) [Chorus] If you really need me (If you really need me baby) Baby just reach out and touch me (Reach, reach baby) You don't ever have to be (Don't ever hesitate to call me) Downhearted again If she hurts you or misleads you (If she hurts you) (She's a damn fool) Baby all you ever need to do Is call me and let love rush in (All you gotta do is call me boy, I got you) [Chorus] If you really need me (Yeah...) Baby just reach out and touch me (If you're listening to me baby) You don't ever have to be (Like you used to) Downhearted again (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 know) Is call me and let love rush in (That "anytime you need a friend") [Outro] I'm here Anytime you need a friend
