Melt Away Lyrics
Mariah Carey
Lyrics
You come to me with a casual flow
And suddenly my defenses start to go
When you talk to me in that sensual tone
It envelops me and I lose my self control
And baby, I just melt away, fall like rain
Every time I see your face, I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Imagining that your takin' it slow
And so tenderly till the feelin' overflows
When you look at me I go soft and cave in
And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakenin'
Baby, I just melt away, fall like rain
Every time I see your face, I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine
Baby, I just melt away, fall like rain
Every time I see your face, I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Baby, I just melt away, fall like rain
Every time I see your face, I go off
I just wanna break it down
You and me got a typical thing
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Baby, I just melt away
