You say you're all alone,
And after all the changes you've been through today
You can use a little tenderness, right now

OK, I've been alone,
And I can understand the way you feel tonight
Maybe together we can charge it all right now

I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto

If you really want to, I'd love to hold you
If you really want to, then I'd love to be the body that you hold onto

You say, he broke your heart,
He left you crying, but he did not set you free
And now you feel like you can never love again

OK, so let me know,
It's up to you how long you let his memory stay
And do you really want to carry on this way

I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto

If you really want to, I'd love to hold you
If you really want to, then I'd love to be the body that you hold onto

If you really want to, if you really want to,
Then I really can't deny you

So many things you need to know, so many left to say
But you mean more than words I know,
I can help you chase the pain away

I can tell by the look in your tear-filled eyes
You need somebody you can hold onto

If you really want to, if you really want to
If you really want to, then I'd love to be the body that you hold onto
If you really want to, if you really want to,
Then I really can't deny you

If you really want to, if you really want to
If you really want to
