Paul Carrack - Talk To Me Lyrics

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 recognize
To tell the truth, we're all getting older
Well that makes it easier to empathize

It's you I care about
So get right to it
And let it out
You know I'm listening
You can't talk to me
You know I'm listening
You can't 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

Well 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't talk to me
You know I'm listening
You can't 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 tryna solve the mystery
You've gotta help yourself
No point retreating back into your shelf

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
