When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that 
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept
the abuse you are taking

Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
You could throw in the towel
and just given in

My darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll comfort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you

Reach out
Reach out
Reach out

Please reach out
Reach out for me
Reach out
Oh reach out for me
