Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) Phil Collins Album: Against All Odds Soundtrack NUMBER ONE in April 1984 SOURCE: Our FUNKY HITS archive. How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave 'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all 1-So take a look at me now There's just an empty space There's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face 3-Take a good look at me now There's just an empty space 2-And you coming back to me Is against all the odds And that's what I got to take I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one Who really knew me at all (repeat 1, 3) But to wait for you is all I can do And that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now 'Cause I'll still be standing there (rpt 2)
