Reach Out
George Duke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a perfect situation
And I'm so lucky that I feel the way I do, girl
I've got no heavy complications
You keep my love from coming straight to you

Oh you are smiling with another
Your eyes keep telling me you just don't care
If we could talk just for a minute
I get your number and we go from there

Oh you (girl) are on my mind (on my mind)
And I love to make you mine (I'll make you mine)
Reach your heart and soul to me (on my mind)
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby love, baby love)

Oh you (girl) are on my mind (on my mind)
And I love to make you mine (I'll make you mine)
Reach your heart and soul to me (on my mind)
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby love, baby love)

I caught your eye just for a moment
And now you know the way I feel about you, girl
You keep on seeking my attention
I think I see what you were planning to do

With some excuse you leave the table
You want to meet me near the powder room, yeah
I follow you without his notice
You touch my hand and slip your number to me

Oh you (girl) are on my mind (on my mind)
And I love to make you mine (I'll make you mine)
Reach your heart (girl) and soul to me (on my mind)
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby, baby, baby, baby)

Reach out your hands to me
And our love for sure will be (baby love, baby love)
Reach out (reach out) your heart to me (reach your baby)
Turn your love to ecstasy

Oh you are on my mind
And I love to make you mine
Reach your heart and soul to me
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby, baby, baby, baby)

Reach out your hands to me
And our love will surely be (baby love, baby love)
Reach out your heart to me (reach out baby)
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby, baby)

Reach out your heart to me
Turn your love to ecstasy
Reach out your hands to me
And our love will surely be





Reach out

Overall Meaning

In George Duke's song Reach Out, the singer elaborates on his feelings of being drawn towards a girl who seems to be smiling with another man. He acknowledges that he has a perfect situation and no heavy complications, but he cannot seem to keep his thoughts away from her. The girl seems to reciprocate his interest, seeking his attention and slipping him her number. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to make her his and the potential for ecstasy in their love, as he urges her to "reach out" to him.


The lyrics reflect a common theme of unrequited love or forbidden desire, where the singer wants something he cannot have. He recognizes that the girl seems to be with someone else, yet he cannot resist his attraction towards her. The chorus is particularly catchy, with its repetition of "reach out" and promise of ecstasy in love. Overall, the song is a smooth R&B track that captures the ardor of unrequited love.

Idk if anyone still comes here but I wrote out some lyrics for this amazing song since I was lazy to look for some and thought it'd be nice 💁

I got a perfect situation
I'm so lucky that I feel the way I do, girl

Though you were smiling with another
Your eyes keep telling me you just don't care
If we could talk just for a minute
I'd get your number and we'd go from there

Oh you girl
Are on my mind
And I'd love
To make you mine
Reach your heart, girl
And so to me
Turn your love to ecstasy (baby love, baby love)

I caught your address for a moment
And now you know just how I feel about you, girl
You keep seeking my attention
I think I see what you were planned to do
With some some excuse you leave the table
You want to meet me near the powder road, yeah
I follow you without their notice
You touch my hand and slip your number to me
Oh you girl
Are on my mind (on my mind)
And I'd love
To make you mine (I'll make you mine)
Reach your heart, girl

Letra:

Tengo una situación perfecta
Y tengo mucha suerte de sentirme como me siento, chica
No tengo complicaciones pesadas
Que evitan que mi amor llegue directamente a ti

Oh, estás sonriendo con otro
Tus ojos siguen diciéndome que no te importa
Si pudiéramos hablar sólo un minuto
Consigo tu número y partimos de ahí

Oh tú (chica) estás en mi mente (en mi mente)
Y me encanta hacerte mía (te haré mía)
Lleva tu corazón y tu alma hacia mí (en mi mente)
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis (baby love, baby love)

Oh tú (chica) estás en mi mente (en mi mente)
Y me encanta hacerte mía (te haré mía)
Alcanza tu corazón y tu alma para mí (en mi mente)
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis (baby love, baby love)

Te llamé la atención sólo por un momento
Y ahora sabes lo que siento por ti, chica
Sigues buscando mi atención
Creo que veo lo que estabas planeando hacer

Con alguna excusa te levantas de la mesa
Quieres encontrarte conmigo cerca del tocador, sí
Te sigo sin que se dé cuenta
Tocas mi mano y me deslizas tu número

Oh tú (chica) estás en mi mente (en mi mente)
Y me encanta hacerte mía (te haré mía)
Alcanza tu corazón (chica) y tu alma a mí (en mi mente)
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis (baby, baby, baby, baby)

Extiende tus manos hacia mí
Y nuestro amor seguro será (baby love, baby love)
Extiende (extiende) tu corazón hacia mí (alcanza a tu bebé)
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis

Oh, tú estás en mi mente
Y me encanta hacerte mía
Alcanza tu corazón y tu alma hacia mí
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis (baby, baby, baby, baby)

Extiende tus manos hacia mí
Y nuestro amor seguramente será (baby love, baby love)
Extiende tu corazón hacia mí (alcanza, bebé)
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis (bebé, bebé)

Extiende tu corazón hacia mí
Convierte tu amor en éxtasis
Extiende tus manos hacia mí
Y nuestro amor seguramente será

Alcanza
