[Verse 1]
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love that will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away, baby

[Verse 2]
I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
'Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away?

[Chorus]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby

[Verse 3]
I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind
(No no no, no no, baby)

[Verse 4]
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Every day
Of my life
Always
So come and take me away

[Chorus]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
(With you)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
(Baby, come and take me away)
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down (Take me down)
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately (I need you, baby)
Won't you please come around? (Won't you please?)
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby

[Outro]
I need you so, I need you so
Take me up
Come on, baby
With you, baby

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
