Carey holds nothing back vocally here on this ballad about keeping her pain hidden as a love affair falls apart. From the calling-all-dogs high notes to the sustained notes, it’s all here.
[Intro]
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da
(Camouflage)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da
(Oh say it)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da
(Oh)
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da
(Da-da-da)
[Verse 1]
I remember so many nights in the bed alone
Wondering could I muster the strength to exist in the bitter cold
But you showed up once in a while, I guess that's all right
'Cause I told my heart that you needed time for yourself, it's fine
[Chorus]
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And 'round I go
To know that you still love me
[Hook]
I need to know, say that you do
(To know if you still love me)
I need to know, say that you do
(Please)
[Verse 2]
Wear it sometimes when I tried to discern our reality
Wish that I just could be somebody else if you talked to me
Kept praying inside, let him love me for who I am
Please, my Lord (please, my Lord)
But you were just somewhere that I couldn’t reach, couldn’t understand (just somewhere that I couldn't reach)
(All that I needed was you to really see me)
[Chorus]
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And 'round I go
To know if you still love me
[Hook]
I need to know, say that you do
(To know if you still love me)
I need to know, say that you do
(No...)
[Bridge]
Didn't we swear we'd give each other everything? (didn't we swear)
(I shouldn't hold in on love)
Didn't I give you all of me? (didn't I give you all, didn't I give you all, didn't I give you all)
No, not a day goes by (day goes, no no no)
When I don't wonder inside (when I don't wonder yeah)
If you feel the way you used to feel
(If you still feel the way...)
I camouflage my tears
(I hide every tear inside of me)
And you wear your disguise
And round and round I go
(To know if you still love me)
[Outro]
(I need to know, say that you do)
Say it, I remember many nights
(I need to know, say that you do)
I camouflaged...
That's all I really wanted
(I need to know, say that you do)
Oh say it (say it)
That's all I really wanted
(I need to know, say that you do)
I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh
(I need to know)
I pray that you still love me
Tell me that you still love me
(Say...)
I... (say that you love)
(Camouflage)
I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh at the question
But I need to know
(I need... to know...)
(Camouflage)
(I need to know, say that you do)
(Say that you do)
I need to know
(Camouflage)
Wear it sometimes when I try to discern our reality...
