Melt Away
Mariah Carey琀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And suddenly my defenses start to go
When you talk to me in that sensual tone
It envelopes 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
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Imagining that you're taking it slow
And so tenderly
'Til the feeling overflows
When you look at me I go soft and cave in
And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakening
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Every time I see your face I go off
I just want to 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
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Every time I see your face I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Every time I see your face I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
