“Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)“ (also titled “Against All Odds“) is a song by English drummer, singer and songwriter Phil Collins. It was recorded for the soundtrack to the 1984 film of the same name. It is a power ballad in which its protagonist implores an ex-lover to “take a look at me now,“ knowing that reconciliation is “against all odds,“ but worth the gamble. The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, the first of seven US No. 1’s for Collins in his solo career. “Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now)“ also topped the charts in Canada, Ireland, and Norway, while peaking at No. 2 in the United Kingdom.
The song has been covered by several singers, some versions of which have been successful in both the US and UK markets. The song has twice reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart: the pairing of Mariah Carey and boyband Westlife, in September 2000, and then again by Steve Brookstein, the first winner of The X Factor, in January 2005.
Lyrics:
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath, with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
’Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face
Instrumental
I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, ’cos there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, ’cos I’ll still be standin’ here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take
