Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul (finding my soul)
There in your eyes (there in your eyes)
And you
Have opened my heart (have opened my heart)
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised
And I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
Oh
And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
And be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call, oh, yes
Oh, whenever you call, whenever you call
The song Whenever You Call by Mariah Carey features strong emotions of love and commitment between two people. The lyrics suggest that love is stronger than both individuals and that once it has started, it cannot be turned back. The singers promise to always be there for each other, even when one of them is falling.
In the opening line when the singer says, “Love wandered inside, Stronger than you, Stronger than I,” it suggests that love, as an emotion, is greater than the two individuals. The love shared between the couple is beyond just their individual strengths. They have reached a point where they can’t turn back; it’s a point of no return. They can only go ahead and turn into one.
The song has a recurring theme of being there for your partner. The singers promise to always be there for each other to comfort, to give all they have inside, and even to catch each other’s fall. They understand each other so well that they have created an unbreakable bond.

Some are made great.
Some are born that way.
Mariah was born to sing
with an angelic voice.
The lady who made 90s
music worth listening.
The greatest female
vocalist. Nothing left to
prove. No contest.
Mariah Carey!

The fact that we got Mariah Celine and Whitney in the same era is actually a gift from heaven we won’t have voices like this probably in our lifetime again
