Slipping Away lyrics
by Mariah Carey
[Intro: Mariah Carey sample]
Time after time I reach for you
Where is the boy that you used to be?
[Verse 1]
I keep on reachin' and I
I keep on tryin'
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me, baby
Keep on yearning and I (And I)
I guess I'm learning
That it's just a losing fight
'Cause there's no passion in your eyes
[Chorus 1]
So far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
So far, so far
You're slipping away-ay-ay
You're sipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me
[Verse 2]
I keep denyin' that our
Our love is dyin'
But it's all a big charade
And it's a fruitless game to play
I can't remember when you
You last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone
[Chorus]
So far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
So far, so far
You're slipping away-ay-ay
You're sipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me
[Bridge]
Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slippin' away from me
Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me
[Chorus]
So far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
So far, so far
You're slipping away-ay-ay
You're sipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me
[Bridge]
Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slippin' away from me
[Outro]
Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slippin' away from me
Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try, but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slippin' away from me
