[English]

You took a first-class trip to Paris

You danced in the streets of Spain

You followed the sun to Rio de Janeiro

'Cause you got so sick and tired of the London rain

But honey, late at night

When you close your tired eyes

You'll be there

And I'll be here

And one of us will cry

It's me, It's me

When you need something more

Something you're dying for

It's me, It's me

When you can't see too clear

Baby, I'm always near

It's me

You played your cards, you felt the sorrow

'Cause all that dealer dealt was pain

But baby, where you gonna play tomorrow

The stakes were too damn high

And now, you're broke again

You can trip around till all your money's blown

But who's the man that'll take you in

When all your luck is gone

It's me, It's me

What are you searching for

I know you can find my door

It's me, It's me

I know you've sinned every sin

But I'll still take you in

It's me

And me, I'm sitting here

Nothing much has changed

You broke my heart to pieces, babe

But that's nothing strange

Well, I ain't angry

That's all come and gone

My arms are still wide open girl

To catch you when you fall

And if someday you realize

Just where you belong

I'm the man that'll take you in

When all your luck's gone

It's me, It's me

When you need something more

Something you're dying for

It's me, It's me

When you can't see too clear

Baby, I'm always near

It's me, it's me

What are you searching for

I know you can find my door

It's me, it's me

I know you've sinned every sin

But I'll still take you in

It's me

Yeah, baby, it's me
