All In Your Mind

“All In Your Mind” is a song Mariah wrote with former songwriting partner Ben Margulies during her debut album recording sessions. “I was using my upper register — what happened was, at the end of it, I did these vocal flips,” Mariah explained. “When I was doing it, my voice split and went into a harmony. If you hear it, it splits. I was saying, ‘Get rid of that,’ but everyone said, ‘No way, we're keeping that.’ ” On her memoir, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey, she revealed receiving an offer from a major publishing company for the song to be used in a movie.

Lyrics

All In Your Mind

Come closer
You seem so far away
There's something I know you need to say
I feel your emotions
When I look in your eyes
Your silence
Whispering misunderstandings
There's so much you need to realize
You'll feel my emotions if you look in my eyes

Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby it's all in your mind
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby it's all in your mind

Believe me I believe in you
There's nothing this feeling couldn't do
Move closer my darling
Feel the love in my eyes

Hey darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But baby it's all in your mind
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby it's all in your mind


Written by Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies.
