Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real, so bright, ages ago, last night
Today, the world is old
You flew away, and time grew cold
Where is that star
That seems so bright
ages ago, last night
To think that spring had depended
on merely this, a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
could slip away in one little daybreak
So now lets reminisce and recollect the size of the kisses
The arms that clung, when we were young last night
So now lets reminisce and recollect the size of the kisses
The arms that clung, when we were young last night
Last night, oooooh, last night, ooooooh, last night
Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Jimmy Webb)
Spring will be a little late this year
a little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
a little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Film Noir lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Ben Taylor)
Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train.
Put my hat on the seat,
Wipe the tears from my eyes.
I watched my life go by,
Like a movie in my brain.
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window,
and a silver screen of rain!
And the opening title scroll,
and the score comes in and under.
And I'm in the starring role,
in a world of love-struck wonder;
It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback.
And then the music,
that gorgeous music;
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.
He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard.
Just how good a liar
can a decent man be?
I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards.
Cause he held them all
So I could never see.
Yes, he played me for a fool,
and I agreed.
And the closing credits roll,
And the waves come in like thunder.
Cause the hero's lost control,
And I made a fatal blunder.
Just another sad story;
Two star-crossed kids,
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac.
And then that music,
That mournful music.
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track.
And the long, slow dissolve,
As we fade to black.
Last car on the train.
Put my hat on the seat,
Wipe the tears from my eyes.
I watched my life go by,
Like a movie in my brain.
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window,
and a silver screen of rain!
And the opening title scroll,
and the score comes in and under.
And I'm in the starring role,
in a world of love-struck wonder;
It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback.
And then the music,
that gorgeous music;
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.
He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard.
Just how good a liar
can a decent man be?
I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards.
Cause he held them all
So I could never see.
Yes, he played me for a fool,
and I agreed.
And the closing credits roll,
And the waves come in like thunder.
Cause the hero's lost control,
And I made a fatal blunder.
Just another sad story;
Two star-crossed kids,
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac.
And then that music,
That mournful music.
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track.
And the long, slow dissolve,
As we fade to black.
Laura lyrics - Carly Simon
Lead-in with Haunting:
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone,
I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone
Laura is the face in the misty night
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer's night
That you might never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream
Yes she gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
A dream, a dream
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone,
I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone
Laura is the face in the misty night
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer's night
That you might never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream
Yes she gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
A dream, a dream
I'm A Fool To Want You lyrics - Carly Simon
I'm a fool to want you, I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true, a love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you, such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone, to share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along without you
hmmmm, I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool
To want a love that can't be true, a love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you, such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone, to share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say
Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along without you
hmmmm, I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool
Two Sleepy People lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. John Travolta)
Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning, see how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say goodnight
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone, from the frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
But too much in love to break away
Do you remember, the nights we used to linger in the hall
Your father didn't like me at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest, get a bit of rest
Who will .......
Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And so much in love, so much in love
Too much in love to say, too much to say, to say
Holding hands and yawning, see how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say goodnight
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone, from the frigidaire
Two sleepy people with nothing to say
But too much in love to break away
Do you remember, the nights we used to linger in the hall
Your father didn't like me at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rent this little nest, get a bit of rest
Who will .......
Here we are just about the same
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And so much in love, so much in love
Too much in love to say, too much to say, to say
Don't Smoke In Bed lyrics - Carly Simon
I left a note on his dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
And my old wedding ring
With these few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Somewhere In The Night lyrics - Carly Simon
Somewhere in the night chasing shadows around the bend
Somewhere in the night chasing rainbows that have no end
In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night till I find you
In the misty light you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night, till I find you
Somewhere in the night chasing rainbows that have no end
In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night till I find you
In the misty light you are mine and you hold me fast
But dreams have a way of calling it a day
They seldom last, our dreams have past
But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till time is through
Somewhere in the night, till I find you
Letters Never Sent lyrics - Carly Simon
In a suitcase tied with string
On the highest shelf
In the closet down the hall
Hidden from myself
Fits of madness, pools of grief
Fevers of desire
How peculiar these remain
Slavaged from the fire
For some I crumpled some I burned
Some I tore to shreds
Lifetimes later, here they are
Ones I saved instead
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Never reached their destination
Mostly born of pain
Resurfaced with the purpose of
A trip down memory lane
Broken hearted, breaking hearts
All the way it went
Evidence of what I saw
My experiments
Life's a riddle, life's a dream
Life's an accident
Now I'm gonna set them free
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Once upon a time taboo
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Incongruous, and overdue
Letters never sent
On the highest shelf
In the closet down the hall
Hidden from myself
Fits of madness, pools of grief
Fevers of desire
How peculiar these remain
Slavaged from the fire
For some I crumpled some I burned
Some I tore to shreds
Lifetimes later, here they are
Ones I saved instead
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Never reached their destination
Mostly born of pain
Resurfaced with the purpose of
A trip down memory lane
Broken hearted, breaking hearts
All the way it went
Evidence of what I saw
My experiments
Life's a riddle, life's a dream
Life's an accident
Now I'm gonna set them free
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Once upon a time taboo
Letters never sent
Letters never sent to you
Letters never sent
Incongruous, and overdue
Letters never sent
Lost In Your Love lyrics - Carly Simon
I'm lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I'm lost in your love
I can find me a night
So lovely it might even change me
I can find me the place where mornings come from
But I'm lost when it comes to you
I'm lost in your love
So lost in my love for you
And I can't see your face
'Cause I'm tumbling through space
I'm lost in your love
Find me
Take me
Hold me
I can't let you go free
'Til you lose your love in me
I'm lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I'm lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I'm lost in your love
I can find me a night
So lovely it might even change me
I can find me the place where mornings come from
But I'm lost when it comes to you
I'm lost in your love
So lost in my love for you
And I can't see your face
'Cause I'm tumbling through space
I'm lost in your love
Find me
Take me
Hold me
I can't let you go free
'Til you lose your love in me
I'm lost in your love
Lost in my love for you
Everything that you say
Everything that you do
I'm lost in your love
Like A River lyrics - Carly Simon
Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale
We divided your railway watches
Between the four of us
I fought over the pearls
With the other girls
But it was all a metaphor
For what was wrong with us
As the room is emptying out
Your face so young comes into view
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
And a pool of light you can walk into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
Do you know any more about God?
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin
On the face of the moon?
Have you reconciled with Dad?
Does the rain still make you sad?
Last night I swear I could feel you
Moving through my room
And I thought you touched my feet
I so wanted it to be true
In my theater there is a stage
And a footlight you can step into...
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
In the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like the spray
In the moment of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubt
'Cause you're already home
Making it nice for when I come home
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night out.
Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true
Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me
And two or three stars we can gaze into...
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you forever
Like a river...
I'll never leave, always just a dream away
A star that's always watching
Never turn away
We'll never leave, always just a thought away
A candle always burning
Never turn away
The moon will hide, the tree will bend
I'm right beside you
I'll never turn away
And your house is up for sale
We divided your railway watches
Between the four of us
I fought over the pearls
With the other girls
But it was all a metaphor
For what was wrong with us
As the room is emptying out
Your face so young comes into view
And on the back porch is a well-worn step
And a pool of light you can walk into
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx?
Do you know any more about God?
Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin
On the face of the moon?
Have you reconciled with Dad?
Does the rain still make you sad?
Last night I swear I could feel you
Moving through my room
And I thought you touched my feet
I so wanted it to be true
In my theater there is a stage
And a footlight you can step into...
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...
In the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like the spray
In the moment of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubt
'Cause you're already home
Making it nice for when I come home
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night out.
Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true

And two or three stars we can gaze into...
I'll wait no more for you like a daughter,

But I will wait for you forever

I'll never leave, always just a dream away
A star that's always watching
Never turn away
We'll never leave, always just a thought away
A candle always burning
Never turn away
The moon will hide, the tree will bend
I'm right beside you
I'll never turn away
Time Works On All The Wild Young Men lyrics - Carly Simon
Time works on all the wild young men
The ones who went for soldiers
The ones who reached for fame
The ones who swore they'd die for love
No matter what the shame
Time circles 'round them snuffs their spark
And there they are
Dancing in the dark
The ones who went for soldiers
The ones who reached for fame
The ones who swore they'd die for love
No matter what the shame
Time circles 'round them snuffs their spark
And there they are
Dancing in the dark
Touched By The Sun lyrics - Carly Simon
If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers,
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
Let my wings of desire
Soar over the night
I need to let them say
"She must have been mad"
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun
I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
With every breath that I take,
Every heartbeat
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun.
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers,
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
Let my wings of desire
Soar over the night
I need to let them say
"She must have been mad"
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun
I've got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,
With every breath that I take,
Every heartbeat
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun.
Davy lyrics - Carly Simon
Davy, is there a song out there in the night
For us?
Davy, is there the kind of smile that you
Read about?
There are ghosts who would warn me
Keep me alone...
Davy, are you the heat I feel in my
Foolish heart?
Davy, there's not a day that I haven't prayed
To feel something so worthy
For someone like you...
Davy, could there be love so bright
Like to jump off the sea?
Davy, did I imagine it or did you look at me
With a look so bold that I had to look away?
But if it feels alright
If it feels alright and it feels alright
Davy, Davy, Davy!!!
For us?
Davy, is there the kind of smile that you
Read about?
There are ghosts who would warn me
Keep me alone...
Davy, are you the heat I feel in my
Foolish heart?
Davy, there's not a day that I haven't prayed
To feel something so worthy
For someone like you...
Davy, could there be love so bright
Like to jump off the sea?
Davy, did I imagine it or did you look at me
With a look so bold that I had to look away?
But if it feels alright
If it feels alright and it feels alright
Davy, Davy, Davy!!!
Halfway 'Round The World lyrics - Carly Simon
Thank you for informing me
That I've been banned from Canada
It comes as no surprise to me
Since last week it was Africa
Since you've been ambassador
There's trouble at the border
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
It's amusing still it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look of vinegar
What could I have done to you
To make you act the way you do
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway 'round the world
I believe it's like some kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
Once upon a time you swore you'd love me
'Til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl...
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
That I've been banned from Canada
It comes as no surprise to me
Since last week it was Africa
Since you've been ambassador
There's trouble at the border
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
It's amusing still it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look of vinegar
What could I have done to you
To make you act the way you do
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway 'round the world
I believe it's like some kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
Once upon a time you swore you'd love me
'Til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl...
La la la la la la la Halfway 'round the world
What About A Holiday lyrics - Carly Simon
What about a holiday, just the eight of us
You and me and all the Stones
Wouldn't want to leave them out
Couldn't find a nice bunch
But you can't expect them to
Navigate the boulevards on their own
Those sweet Rolling Stones
Gosh, we better go hold their hands
While they cross the street
You and me and all the Stones
Wouldn't want to leave them out
Couldn't find a nice bunch
But you can't expect them to
Navigate the boulevards on their own
Those sweet Rolling Stones
Gosh, we better go hold their hands
While they cross the street
The Reason lyrics - Carly Simon
The reason I wouldn't kiss you last night
I wouldn't kiss you 'cause I was afraid
That I'd like you too much
And if I liked you too much
I'd be afraid that I'd give you a present
And if I gave you a gift,
You might give me a gift
And then I'd be afraid...
That I wouldn't like it
[Chorus:]
The reason, there's always a reason
Behind the reason
When you look for a reason
A reason, I can give you a reason
And maybe you'll think
It's a really good reason
But I come up with the reasons
You asked me if I'd scratch your back
I wouldn't scratch it
'Cause I was afraid that I'd twist your arm
And if I twisted your arm
I'd be afraid that it would lead to passion
And if we got too drunk
We might fall out of the bunk
And then I'd be afraid
We would have a concussion
[Chorus]
Don't ever live with your real love
Stop before it starts
Real love will last much longer
Stay stronger
Living in your heart
Yeah, that's where it belongs, in your heart
The reason, there's always a reason
Behind the reason
When you look for the reason
The reason, I can give you a reason
And maybe you'll think
It's a really good reason
But I come up with the reason
I'll never have another chance
At the Parson's dance
(He's gonna spank me)
Gotta be an apple tree growing in the field
Gotta be at Frankie's house right now
Gotta be at Danny's house deja
Gotta meet a holy man
He'll be in the valley when Amelia tries to land
(With his shirt off)
I can never be in love, I can only be in heat
And I never felt so...never felt so...
Never felt so...
Hot
Private lyrics - Carly Simon
[Chorus:]
Can you be private when the juice is sweet
And the secret is crimson
Can you be quiet when my hands are heat
And the riptide rises?
Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees?
And live on our desire alone
Can you ride the tide in this insanity
And still keep as still as the shadows?
When the cry is so wide on the inside
When the truth jumps quick to the heart
When the wind or the stars are violent
Can you be silent?
Here's a little something that the wizard said:
"You can kiss, but never tell
All the wisdom you need
And you'll be needing some
Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell"
[Chorus]
Just the wide grey sky
And the hunchback moon
Will keep our memories
Not a living soul will remember us
This is just for you and me
'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night
If you're out with the boys and there's braggin'
If you break, speak and call me your lover,
I'll lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over
Can you be private when the juice is sweet
And the secret is crimson
Can you be quiet when my hands are heat
And the riptide rises?
Can you be blind and a beggar on your knees?
And live on our desire alone
Can you ride the tide in this insanity
And still keep as still as the shadows?
When the cry is so wide on the inside
When the truth jumps quick to the heart
When the wind or the stars are violent
Can you be silent?
Here's a little something that the wizard said:
"You can kiss, but never tell
All the wisdom you need
And you'll be needing some
Can be heard in the mouth of a seashell"
[Chorus]
Just the wide grey sky
And the hunchback moon
Will keep our memories
Not a living soul will remember us
This is just for you and me
'Cause if you;re out with the boys one night
If you're out with the boys and there's braggin'
If you break, speak and call me your lover,
I'll lie, I swear, I'll lie, and it will all be over
Catch It Like A Fever lyrics - Carly Simon
If you want someone bad enough
You can catch it like a fever
And it's the last thing in the world you want,
But you can catch it like a fever
And it;s the only thing
That's left of you
And you can catch it like a fever
The habit and the curse
You're not here,
Yet I have swallowed you whole
You can catch it like a fever
And it's the last thing in the world you want,
But you can catch it like a fever
And it;s the only thing
That's left of you
And you can catch it like a fever
The habit and the curse
You're not here,
Yet I have swallowed you whole
Born To Break My Heart lyrics - Carly Simon
You were born to break
You were born to break
You were born to break my heart
The same kitchen, the same eyes
The same reaction to the same lies
It was not so long ago,
A most auspicious start
And only now I know
You were born to break my heart
Born to break my heart...
"Guilt Trip," I can hear you say
"Get a grip girl, you've lost your way
You don't begin to understand
I guess it's time we part
And don't be usin' that old cliche:
'you were born to break my heart'
You were born to break my heart"
No wonder we looked like the perfect couple
It was brilliantly conceived
It seems I have a yen to lose
And you can't pass up the perfect
Chance to leave
The same plot, the same rain
Just as stubborn as a fool
You'd think I might get smart
But here I am, cursed, to seek love again
From yet another cold heart
You were born to break my heart,
Born to break my heart
You were born to break
You were born to break my heart
The same kitchen, the same eyes
The same reaction to the same lies
It was not so long ago,
A most auspicious start
And only now I know
You were born to break my heart
Born to break my heart...
"Guilt Trip," I can hear you say
"Get a grip girl, you've lost your way
You don't begin to understand
I guess it's time we part
And don't be usin' that old cliche:
'you were born to break my heart'
You were born to break my heart"
No wonder we looked like the perfect couple
It was brilliantly conceived
It seems I have a yen to lose
And you can't pass up the perfect
Chance to leave
The same plot, the same rain
Just as stubborn as a fool
You'd think I might get smart
But here I am, cursed, to seek love again
From yet another cold heart
You were born to break my heart,
Born to break my heart
I'd Rather It Was You lyrics - Carly Simon
Tonight the sun went down in flames
And the moon rose up in blue
Heaven spoke and called my name
But I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you
[Chorus:]
I'd rather it was you to hold me like the child
That I never was
I'd like for you to carry me across
I'd rather it was you
Because.....
I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl
That I've never been
I'd like to feel your breath upon my skin
I'd like to feel it finally beginning....
[Chorus]
One will fit just like a glove
Two will feel like brand new
But you are all these things and more
And I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you
And the moon rose up in blue
Heaven spoke and called my name
But I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you
[Chorus:]
I'd rather it was you to hold me like the child
That I never was
I'd like for you to carry me across
I'd rather it was you
Because.....
I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl
That I've never been
I'd like to feel your breath upon my skin
I'd like to feel it finally beginning....
[Chorus]
One will fit just like a glove
Two will feel like brand new
But you are all these things and more
And I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you
Love Of My Life lyrics - Carly Simon
I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen and walking in the snow
But you've got to know that
You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread
The Statue Of Liberty and standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head that
You're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
You an drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy
But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
through all the pleasure and pain
From the moment I first saw you
I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life.
Back The Way (Dottie's Point Of View) lyrics - Carly Simon
Back the way it was before
Before the door was opened
Back the way it was before
Before the ice was broken
Back the way it used to be
Everyone thought I was funny
But nobody ever asked me
If I wanted tiny little sandwiches
Sent up to my room
Back the way it was before
I was always waiting
Everybody thought I was okay
But now I'm scintillating
But the way it used to be
Some people thought I was pretty
But not many passes were made at me
Back the way it was before
But now my prayers are answered
And my star is on the rise
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
Everyone's my best friend
Back the way it used to be
Money was always a tyrant
I spent it all paying my rent
Back the way I was before
But now my prayers are answered
And my star is on the rise
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
Everyone's my best friend
Back the way it used to be
Sing a song of long ago
Back the way it used to be.
Before the door was opened
Back the way it was before
Before the ice was broken
Back the way it used to be
Everyone thought I was funny
But nobody ever asked me
If I wanted tiny little sandwiches
Sent up to my room
Back the way it was before
I was always waiting
Everybody thought I was okay
But now I'm scintillating
But the way it used to be
Some people thought I was pretty
But not many passes were made at me
Back the way it was before
But now my prayers are answered
And my star is on the rise
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
Everyone's my best friend
Back the way it used to be
Money was always a tyrant
I spent it all paying my rent
Back the way I was before
But now my prayers are answered
And my star is on the rise
Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping
Everyone's my best friend
Back the way it used to be
Sing a song of long ago
Back the way it used to be.
Easy On The Eyes lyrics - Carly Simon
I'm the most dangerous person in this room
The way you look
I could do some damage to myself
It's your heart against mine
And I fear I may capsize
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
'Cause you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
You turn your face
The two sides don't synchronize
You're nothing like anyone I've ever seen before
If I'm staring at you then I apologize
You defy every rule I've learned
But still I've never been half so turned on
And you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
Handsome's not a word that comes to mind
But I'd have to be blind to try and minimize
How easy you are on the eyes
Easy on the eyes
In my vertigo
You're easy on the eyes
From head to toe
You're so easy on the eyes
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
And you're just so easy
You're just so damn easy on the eyes
The way you look
I could do some damage to myself
It's your heart against mine
And I fear I may capsize
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
'Cause you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
You turn your face
The two sides don't synchronize
You're nothing like anyone I've ever seen before
If I'm staring at you then I apologize
You defy every rule I've learned
But still I've never been half so turned on
And you're just so easy
You're so damned easy on the eyes
Handsome's not a word that comes to mind
But I'd have to be blind to try and minimize
How easy you are on the eyes
Easy on the eyes
In my vertigo
You're easy on the eyes
From head to toe
You're so easy on the eyes
I'm operating without a license
But I'm willing to pay the price
And you're just so easy
You're just so damn easy on the eyes
The Show Must Go On lyrics - Carly Simon
Some folks like to stay at home
Some folks like to be alone
So when they finally come out of their nest
I've got to turn it on
I've got to be my best
The street may be slick with ice
And I'm sick with butterflies
And some other girl may be the talk of the town
I could lose my voice
Or I could split my gown
But when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night
Even when I'm feeling down
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
I've won some and I have lost
But what I enjoy the most
Is never knowing how the evening will end
Will I be the joke or the comedienne
And when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night
Even when I'm shivering cold
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
[Repeat to end.]
[Background answers:]
Even in a hurricane
Your contact lens goes down the drain
When your agent goes insane
When you can hardly stay awake
You'd rather stay at home and bake
When you've got a tummy-ache
To an audience of one
And you think he's got a gun
When laughing isn't any fun
You want to watch the end of "Cheers"
Your mother is a lunatic
You think you've left the oven on
You find out there's no Santa Claus
You're doggy can't remember you
You want to move up to Vermont
You just ran out of underwear
Your prescription won't renew
You just ran into your ex
The handyman was very rude
Your landlord just evicted you
It's cosy by the fireplace
You really have to blow your nose
It must, it must, it must go on
Arnold says it must go on
Some folks like to be alone
So when they finally come out of their nest
I've got to turn it on
I've got to be my best
The street may be slick with ice
And I'm sick with butterflies
And some other girl may be the talk of the town
I could lose my voice
Or I could split my gown
But when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night
Even when I'm feeling down
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
I've won some and I have lost
But what I enjoy the most
Is never knowing how the evening will end
Will I be the joke or the comedienne
And when I'm in the spotlight
It's got to be a hot night
Even when I'm shivering cold
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on

Love Of My Life (Toots) lyrics - Carly Simon
I love lilacs and avocados
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen
And walking in the snow
But you've got to know
That you're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread
The Statue Of Liberty
And standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head
That you're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
You can drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy
But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life
Through all the pleasure and pain
From the moment I first saw you
I knew, I knew it right away
I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life
Ukuleles and fireworks
And Woody Allen
And walking in the snow
But you've got to know
That you're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread

And standing ovations
And falling into bed
But get it through your head
That you're the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
From the moment I first saw you
The second that you were born
I knew that you were the love of my life
Quite simply the love of my life
You can drive me crazy
You can drive me anywhere
Here are the keys
Just do as you please
It may not always be easy
But you're the love of my life
My heart is riding on a runaway train
You are the love of my life

I knew that you were the love of my life
Simply the love of my life
You are the love
The great love of my life
Back The Way (Girls' Point Of View) lyrics - Carly Simon
Back the way it was before
Before the heart was broken
Playing hookey, making cookies
We were always jokin'
Back the way it used to be
Talks didn't end in a quarrel
Everything seemed so normal
Back the way it was before
But now the limo pulls up to the door
And she gets in
She calls bye, bye honey
Here is some money
I forgot the groceries
Back the way it was before
The chicken pox was easy
We told each other everything
And nobody was nosey
Back the way it used to be
When we were a happy family
Nobody ever asked us
If we wanted tiny little sandwiches
Sent up to our room
Before the heart was broken
Playing hookey, making cookies
We were always jokin'
Back the way it used to be
Talks didn't end in a quarrel
Everything seemed so normal
Back the way it was before
But now the limo pulls up to the door
And she gets in
She calls bye, bye honey
Here is some money
I forgot the groceries
Back the way it was before
The chicken pox was easy
We told each other everything
And nobody was nosey
Back the way it used to be
When we were a happy family
Nobody ever asked us
If we wanted tiny little sandwiches
Sent up to our room
The Night Before Christmas lyrics - carly Simon (feat. Sally Taylor)
Children carry through the streets
A brilliant painted star
Angels gather 'round the hearth
Strumming on guitars
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards
It's the night before Christmas
But you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony
And you don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
If you're heart's been longing
And you've been afraid to try
Sorrow's kept you company
And the dance has passed you by
I'll lift you up and blaze with you
Across the moonlit sky
On the night before Christmas
'Cause you don't have to be an angel
To sing in harmony
And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
A brilliant painted star
Angels gather 'round the hearth
Strumming on guitars
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards
It's the night before Christmas
But you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony
And you don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
If you're heart's been longing
And you've been afraid to try
Sorrow's kept you company
And the dance has passed you by
I'll lift you up and blaze with you
Across the moonlit sky
On the night before Christmas
'Cause you don't have to be an angel
To sing in harmony
And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

Better Not Tell Her lyrics - Carly Simon
Better not tell her, that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I'd die for your love
That I still...love...you
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I'd die for your love
That I still...love...you
Didn't I? lyrics - Carly Simon
Didn't I give you midnight?
Didn't I give you the month of June
Didn't I make it alright
When everything was ruined
Didn't I say didn't I
Didn't you say Didn't I too
Didn't we both say Didn't I
'Till didn't we say we're through
Didn't I try, Didn't I cry
Didn't I?
Sorry that your mother dropped you on your head
Maybe her mother dropped her too
In the end we all get dropped
We all get black and blue
But didn't I always love you long
When time was short and the night was cold
Didn't I admit that I was wrong
When the anger was new but the fight was old
Didn't I say didn't I
'Till didn't we say we're through
Didn't I try, Didn't I cry
Didn't I, Didn't I,
Didn't I do?
Didn't I give you the month of June
Didn't I make it alright
When everything was ruined
Didn't I say didn't I
Didn't you say Didn't I too
Didn't we both say Didn't I
'Till didn't we say we're through
Didn't I try, Didn't I cry
Didn't I?
Sorry that your mother dropped you on your head
Maybe her mother dropped her too
In the end we all get dropped
We all get black and blue
But didn't I always love you long
When time was short and the night was cold
Didn't I admit that I was wrong
When the anger was new but the fight was old
Didn't I say didn't I
'Till didn't we say we're through
Didn't I try, Didn't I cry
Didn't I, Didn't I,
Didn't I do?
Have You Seen Me Lately? lyrics Carly Simon
have you seen me lately?
What was it you saw
Are you gonna catch me
With my hand in the jar, naked singing in the choir?
have you seen me lately?
Did I look O.K.
Are you gonna shame me and take my toys away?
Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams
Have you seen me lately?
Did I miss a beat
Are you gonna make me get back on my feet?
Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams
Have you seen me lately?
Was I crazy?
Don't wake me...Don't wake me...Don't wake me...
What was it you saw
Are you gonna catch me
With my hand in the jar, naked singing in the choir?
have you seen me lately?
Did I look O.K.
Are you gonna shame me and take my toys away?
Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams
Have you seen me lately?
Did I miss a beat
Are you gonna make me get back on my feet?
Don't wake me unless you love me
It takes too long to fall back to sleep
Don't wake me unless you're a friend of mine
I'd rather just fall back on my dreams
Have you seen me lately?
Was I crazy?
Don't wake me...Don't wake me...Don't wake me...
Life Is Eternal lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Ben and Sally Taylor)
I've been doing a lot of thinking
About growing older and moving on
Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on
For a long, long stay
But just how long and who knows
And how and where my spirit will go
Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone
Or evaporate on a breeze
Won't you tell me please
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
Here on earth I'm a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that's why each new star is born
Expanding heaven's room
Eternity in bloom
And will I see you up in that heaven
In all it's light will I know you're there
Will we say the things that we never dared
If wishing makes it so
Won't you let me know
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
About growing older and moving on
Nobody wants to be told that they're getting on
For a long, long stay
But just how long and who knows
And how and where my spirit will go
Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone
Or evaporate on a breeze
Won't you tell me please
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
Here on earth I'm a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that's why each new star is born
Expanding heaven's room
Eternity in bloom
And will I see you up in that heaven
In all it's light will I know you're there
Will we say the things that we never dared
If wishing makes it so
Won't you let me know
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
Waiting At The Gate lyrics - Carly Simon
An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer
Still I would never have guessed that you'd wind up here
In a half-way house, on a dead-end street
In a run-down part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, don't worry 'bout your girl
'Cause I won't run away, and I won't run around
And I won't let you down, and without a doubt
I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
You set the world on fire, dancing after dark
Now you're playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
I'm not the one to judge you, so baby don't be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
I'll be back on the ninth, I've circled the date
Three o'clock sharp, and I won't be late
You've been through hell I know what that's all about
And I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
The doctors have so little faith
They say you were a classic case
They said the chance is eight in ten
They'd see you back in here again
But I'm counting on you to prove the doctors wrong
I'm imagining you, healthy and strong
Your papers all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue
Looking like a baby picture of you
Walking down the path, your suitcase in your hand
The howling at your back, a brand new man
Be a perfect little camper, be a brave little scout
And I'll be waiting waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out...
Still I would never have guessed that you'd wind up here
In a half-way house, on a dead-end street
In a run-down part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, don't worry 'bout your girl
'Cause I won't run away, and I won't run around
And I won't let you down, and without a doubt
I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
You set the world on fire, dancing after dark
Now you're playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
I'm not the one to judge you, so baby don't be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
I'll be back on the ninth, I've circled the date
Three o'clock sharp, and I won't be late
You've been through hell I know what that's all about
And I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
The doctors have so little faith
They say you were a classic case
They said the chance is eight in ten
They'd see you back in here again
But I'm counting on you to prove the doctors wrong
I'm imagining you, healthy and strong
Your papers all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue
Looking like a baby picture of you
Walking down the path, your suitcase in your hand
The howling at your back, a brand new man
Be a perfect little camper, be a brave little scout
And I'll be waiting waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out...
Happy Birthday lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Ben and Sally Taylor)
It's all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
I'll go to your party, you'll come to mine
We've given up cigarettes, we've given up wine
We've given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I don't try to seduce you, we don't even flirt
We're too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, Happy Birthday
Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
We've got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So blow out the candles, Happy Birthday
Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time you'll save
And don't forget to make it look
As though you're working very very hard
But I'll be your lover if you will be mine
We'll go back to the garden and have a good time
And if I'm offered an apple, I'll politely decline
And just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday
Holding Me Tonight lyrics - Carly Simon
you say you're not worthy of me
But how do you know when you can't see
Your eyes where midnight catches fire
I can't describe this dizzy desire
Can you be so insecure
That you don't know what this grin is for
Do you think I always act this way
Silly and silent, and eager to stay
When you're holding me tonight
Holding me tonight
You think it's all a mistake
That I'm lost in a dream from which I'll wake up
There you'll be just another guy
You could never be but I dare you to try
When you're holding me
Holding me tonight
I walk into your room
You blush when I see it in a mess
So I undress and close my eyes
A room with a view
Is in the dark with you
But that should come as no surprise
it's not a matter of mind
The choice of the heart is a different kind
It's always been a mystery
When you walk into the room It happens to me
And when you're holding me
Holding me tonight
But how do you know when you can't see
Your eyes where midnight catches fire
I can't describe this dizzy desire
Can you be so insecure
That you don't know what this grin is for
Do you think I always act this way
Silly and silent, and eager to stay
When you're holding me tonight
Holding me tonight
You think it's all a mistake
That I'm lost in a dream from which I'll wake up
There you'll be just another guy
You could never be but I dare you to try
When you're holding me
Holding me tonight
I walk into your room
You blush when I see it in a mess
So I undress and close my eyes
A room with a view
Is in the dark with you
But that should come as no surprise
it's not a matter of mind
The choice of the heart is a different kind
It's always been a mystery
When you walk into the room It happens to me
And when you're holding me
Holding me tonight
It's Not Like Him lyrics - Carly Simon
When Tom came home his hair was combed
He bought snakeskin boots in Rome
That's not like him
His socks are clean, his shirt is pressed
It isn't just the way he's dressed
He smiles out of context and acts so polite
He's staying at his cousin's overnight
The protein shakes, that's not like him
The carrot cakes, that's not like him
The oatbran flakes, that's not like him
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
Oh, that's not like him
He whispers on the telephone
He goes out smelling of cologne
That's not like him
It's just a superficial thing
But he's misplaced his wedding ring
He's become quite a connoisseur of wine
He's quoting Yeats and Gertrude Stein
The Soho pub, that's not like him
The racquet club, that's not like him
Those books on love, that's not like him
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
Oh, that's not like him
I caught a glimpse of Tom today
At a checkout counter, about to pay
He had a girl on his arm
I'm glad he's helping out the poor
It's not like the Tom I knew before
Something so touching it made me cry
But my heart was racing, I don't know why
Those new blue suede shoes, that's not like him
The Ray Ban shades, that's not like him
Those downtown ways, that's not like him
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
Oh, that's not like him
The red suspenders, that's not like him
The berries in the blender, that's not like him
Those twelve step groups, that's not like him
And Guadeloupe, that's not like him
Those books on Zen, that's not like him
The Karate classes, that's not like him
The fishing gear, that's not like him
Not like him, That's not like him
He bought snakeskin boots in Rome
That's not like him
His socks are clean, his shirt is pressed
It isn't just the way he's dressed
He smiles out of context and acts so polite
He's staying at his cousin's overnight
The protein shakes, that's not like him
The carrot cakes, that's not like him
The oatbran flakes, that's not like him
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
Oh, that's not like him
He whispers on the telephone
He goes out smelling of cologne
That's not like him
It's just a superficial thing
But he's misplaced his wedding ring
He's become quite a connoisseur of wine
He's quoting Yeats and Gertrude Stein
The Soho pub, that's not like him
The racquet club, that's not like him
Those books on love, that's not like him
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
Oh, that's not like him
I caught a glimpse of Tom today
At a checkout counter, about to pay
He had a girl on his arm
I'm glad he's helping out the poor
It's not like the Tom I knew before
Something so touching it made me cry
But my heart was racing, I don't know why
Those new blue suede shoes, that's not like him

Those twelve step groups, that's not like him
And Guadeloupe, that's not like him
Those books on Zen, that's not like him
The Karate classes, that's not like him
The fishing gear, that's not like him
Not like him, That's not like him
Don't Wrap It Up lyrics - Carly Simon
I'll take some of this, I'll have some of that
And several more of these
Now that I see it, I know what I like
So I'll like it if you please
I ain't nobody's princess, stuck in Sunday School
So I'll help myself to love
And have the whole career
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
Just look at you now, the ultimate guy
Class and wit and style
Once I might have pretended, to be someone else
Attracting you with guile
But now I'm not about to dress up, in some other woman's shoes
I've got nothing to lose
So I'll help myself to love,
Gather round and cheer
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
I've stood there patiently waiting in line
A take-out man's an O.K. plan
If you've got lots of time
Especially if he's biodegradable
I ain't nobody's princess
I ain't nobody's fool
So I'll help myself to love
There's nothing more to fear
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
And several more of these
Now that I see it, I know what I like
So I'll like it if you please
I ain't nobody's princess, stuck in Sunday School
So I'll help myself to love
And have the whole career
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
Just look at you now, the ultimate guy
Class and wit and style
Once I might have pretended, to be someone else
Attracting you with guile
But now I'm not about to dress up, in some other woman's shoes
I've got nothing to lose
So I'll help myself to love,
Gather round and cheer
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
I've stood there patiently waiting in line
A take-out man's an O.K. plan
If you've got lots of time
Especially if he's biodegradable
I ain't nobody's princess
I ain't nobody's fool
So I'll help myself to love
There's nothing more to fear
Don't wrap it up, I'll eat it here
Fisherman's Song lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Judy Collins and Lucy Simon)
In a pine forest cooler than the rest of the island
Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea
He built his own boat and made his own cabin
but he's broken the hearts of the likes like me
Now you must understand he made me a promise
there were secrets we shared we planted a tree
We lived in a cabin, I fished along side of him
I fell under the spell of his sorcery
When he cast me adrift at the end of the summer
It was not for another but his own privacy
I fell apart like a rose, but the scent of my longing
Remains and it weeps like an old willow tree
At night when it's still, with a yellow moon rising
When his candle is snuffed and he's deep in a dream
I move like a cat, and crawl into his window
And lie down beside him in a golden moonbeam
The smell of his skin is just like the summer
When our love was as fresh as the grass in the fields
And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids
Before slipping away, my secret concealed
Though I'm in it alone, I'm still in it, In love
And love can be lonely like a sweet melody
But just maybe he feels like a whisper inside him
Like an angel beside him, keeping him company
Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea
He built his own boat and made his own cabin
but he's broken the hearts of the likes like me
Now you must understand he made me a promise
there were secrets we shared we planted a tree
We lived in a cabin, I fished along side of him
I fell under the spell of his sorcery
When he cast me adrift at the end of the summer
It was not for another but his own privacy
I fell apart like a rose, but the scent of my longing
Remains and it weeps like an old willow tree
At night when it's still, with a yellow moon rising
When his candle is snuffed and he's deep in a dream
I move like a cat, and crawl into his window
And lie down beside him in a golden moonbeam
The smell of his skin is just like the summer
When our love was as fresh as the grass in the fields
And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids
Before slipping away, my secret concealed
Though I'm in it alone, I'm still in it, In love
And love can be lonely like a sweet melody
But just maybe he feels like a whisper inside him
Like an angel beside him, keeping him company
We Just Got Here lyrics - Carly Simon
There are a few more freckles on your shoulders
The hammock swings lower and touches the grass
The apples are ripe and the corn is past
Everyone says some goes by so fast
And we just got here
I can hardly believe it but it's ended
The beach is a haze and old love's a ghost
Hugo is twisting his way up the coast
If you blew out to sea I'd love you most
And we just got here
Nostalgia you fake, you bitter sweet ache
The time that you take could make another heart whole
Could the truth be I won't really see
How much I love you
'Til it's over
The two of us left here alone in the house
You bleed the pipes while I bring in the plants
Put our faces in place for September's dance
If you're willing, I'm willing to take one more chance
And we just got here
The hammock swings lower and touches the grass
The apples are ripe and the corn is past
Everyone says some goes by so fast
And we just got here
I can hardly believe it but it's ended
The beach is a haze and old love's a ghost
Hugo is twisting his way up the coast
If you blew out to sea I'd love you most
And we just got here
Nostalgia you fake, you bitter sweet ache
The time that you take could make another heart whole
Could the truth be I won't really see
How much I love you
'Til it's over
The two of us left here alone in the house
You bleed the pipes while I bring in the plants
Put our faces in place for September's dance
If you're willing, I'm willing to take one more chance
And we just got here
My Romance lyrics - Carly Simon
My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
By Myself / I See Your Face Before Me lyrics - carly simon
I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of Romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
I see your face before me
Clouding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Over me
If you could share the magic
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me
This is the end of Romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
I see your face before me
Clouding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Over me
If you could share the magic
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me
When Your Lover Has Gone lyrics - Carly Simon
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The love that you cherish, so often might perish
And leave you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone, when your lover has gone
Ooooh, when your lover has gone
That comes with each new love affair
The love that you cherish, so often might perish
And leave you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone, when your lover has gone
Ooooh, when your lover has gone
In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning lyrics - Carly Simon
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the boy
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
Something happens to you
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the boy
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all
My Funny Valentine lyrics - Carly Simon
You're my funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you
Something Wonderful lyrics - Carly Simon
He may not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you
You'll always go along with
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so you'll get you're love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful
What you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you
You'll always go along with
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so you'll get you're love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful
Little Girl Blue lyrics - Carly Simon
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strong with every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and the gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time that you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl you may as well surrender
You hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer a little girl blue
No use old girl you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody lend a tender
Blue boy to cheer a little girl blue
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strong with every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and the gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time that you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl you may as well surrender
You hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer a little girl blue
No use old girl you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody lend a tender
Blue boy to cheer a little girl blue
He Was Too Good To Me lyrics - Carly Simon
There goes my young intended
The thing has ended
Regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient
Told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain
He was too good to me
How can I get along now
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun
When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a Queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true
The thing has ended
Regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient
Told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain
He was too good to me
How can I get along now
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun
When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a Queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true
What Has She Got lyrics - Carly Simon
I've got eyes they call beguiling
A string of cultured pearls
And my lips are always smiling
I'm not one of those moody girls
I've studied cooking in a French cafe
As bal and cheins last prodigy
A one time runner up Miss USA
What has she got that I haven't got
Why am I not he girl that makes you heart go dancing
Puts stars in all your dreams
She's everything you want and I'm just me
What has she got that I haven't got
I've got a bed that's warm
I've got a room that's sunny
Kisses so honey sweet
I try everything to sweep you off your feet
Do you like her kind of trouble
Does she bring you to your knees
Have I been playing you all wrong
Always trying to please you
What has she got that I haven't got
What has she got
She's got you.....
A string of cultured pearls
And my lips are always smiling
I'm not one of those moody girls
I've studied cooking in a French cafe
As bal and cheins last prodigy
A one time runner up Miss USA
What has she got that I haven't got
Why am I not he girl that makes you heart go dancing
Puts stars in all your dreams
She's everything you want and I'm just me
What has she got that I haven't got
I've got a bed that's warm
I've got a room that's sunny
Kisses so honey sweet
I try everything to sweep you off your feet
Do you like her kind of trouble
Does she bring you to your knees
Have I been playing you all wrong
Always trying to please you
What has she got that I haven't got
What has she got
She's got you.....
Bewitched lyrics - Carly Simon
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a week
Since this half pint imitation's
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Until love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh I lost my heart but what of it
He is home I am free
Oh but he can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a week
Since this half pint imitation's
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Until love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh I lost my heart but what of it
He is home I am free
Oh but he can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Danny Boy lyrics - Carly Simon
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But when you come, when all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Then if you bend and tell me that you love me
I'll sleep in peace until you come to me
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
But when you come, when all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Then if you bend and tell me that you love me
I'll sleep in peace until you come to me
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
Time After Time lyrics - Carly Simon
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Let The River Run lyrics - Carly Simon
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Let The River Run [With Choir] lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. St. Thomas Choir Of Men And Boys)
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
The morning lights
The streets that meet them,
And sirens call them on
With a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
Running on the water,
Coming through the fog,
Your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
The Lady In Red lyrics - carly simon (feat. Chris De Burgh)
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,
I love you...
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,
I love you...
I'm So Excited lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. The Pointer Sisters)
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Get in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know I know I know I know I know I want you
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last for long long time
We'll have a good time, Baby, don't do worry
And if we're still playin' around boy that's just fine
Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you, I want you
I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go
I'm so excited, I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Get in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night
I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know I know I know I know I know I want you
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last for long long time
We'll have a good time, Baby, don't do worry
And if we're still playin' around boy that's just fine
Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you, I want you
I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go
I'm so excited, I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you
Coming Around Again lyrics - Carly Simon
Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering
[Chorus]
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the Souffl
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering
[Chorus]
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the Souffl
Give Me All Night lyrics - Carly Simon
I have no need of half of anything
No half time, no half of a man's attention
Give me all the earth and sky
And at the same time add a new dimension
Half the truth is of no use
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Give me all night
Give me the full moon
And if I can't take the whole of you
Give it to me anyway
Give me all night
'Till the last star fades
And if you can't take my heart and soul
Take it from me anyway
Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls
And, when I cry my tears'll fill an ocean
The pain of love I'll accept it all
As long as you'll join me in that emotion
Half of lovin' is no fun
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Don't leave me guessing alone
Don't walk me half the way home
You can do that tomorrow
Just give me give me all night.
No half time, no half of a man's attention
Give me all the earth and sky
And at the same time add a new dimension
Half the truth is of no use
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Give me all night
Give me the full moon
And if I can't take the whole of you
Give it to me anyway
Give me all night
'Till the last star fades
And if you can't take my heart and soul
Take it from me anyway
Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls
And, when I cry my tears'll fill an ocean
The pain of love I'll accept it all
As long as you'll join me in that emotion
Half of lovin' is no fun
Give it all, give it all to me
I can stand it
I am strong that way
Don't leave me guessing alone
Don't walk me half the way home
You can do that tomorrow
Just give me give me all night.
Do The Walls Come Down lyrics - carly simon (feat. Lucy Simon and Jimmy Ryan)
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Nothing like a rainy night
To set your heart rememberin'
Nothing like a vivid dream
To take you back again
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink says, "You are my fire"
Do you think so...
Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway?
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Nothing like a rainy night
To set your heart rememberin'
Nothing like a vivid dream
To take you back again
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink says, "You are my fire"
Do you think so...
Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway?
Hold What You've Got lyrics - carly simon
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
'Cause if you think
Nobody else wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody else will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
You take love for granted
And it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you've lost
It's already cost
The one you could love your whole life
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
'Cause if you think
Nobody else wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody else will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
You take love for granted
And it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you've lost
It's already cost
The one you could love your whole life
It Should Have Been Me lyrics - carly simon
I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we're friends
I don't want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love
[Chorus:]
It should have been me
That's lovin' you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That's holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go,
My love
What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now you believe our love will grow
I don't want to say goodbye to you again,
My love
[Chorus]
My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start
[Chorus]
But I remember when love was new
And you were mine, my love
So why would we pretend
We were lovers and now we're friends
I don't want to say goodbye to you
Again, my love
[Chorus:]
It should have been me
That's lovin' you instead of someone else
I needed you but how was I to know
It should have been me
That's holding you through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should never let you go,
My love
What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
It could never be the same again, my love
The more we see the less we know
Now you believe our love will grow
I don't want to say goodbye to you again,
My love
[Chorus]
My love, how would I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
When I need a friend
To help me find a place to start
[Chorus]
Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of lyrics - Carly simon
Take a look around now
Change the direction
Adjust the tuning
Try a new translation
Don't look at your man in the same old way
Take a new picture
Just because you don't see shooting stars
Doesn't mean it isn't perfect
Can't you see...
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
So what's this about your best friend?
She's got a brand new shiny boy
And they're moving out to Malibu
To play with all his pretty toys
And you feel closed in by the same four walls
The same old conversation
With the same old guy you've know for years
But use your imagination
And you will see....
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise
And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for
Are shining in his eyes
Don't look at yourself in the same old way
Take another picture
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
Don't look any further
And you will see
It's the stuff that dreams are made of....
Change the direction
Adjust the tuning
Try a new translation
Don't look at your man in the same old way
Take a new picture
Just because you don't see shooting stars
Doesn't mean it isn't perfect
Can't you see...
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
So what's this about your best friend?
She's got a brand new shiny boy
And they're moving out to Malibu
To play with all his pretty toys
And you feel closed in by the same four walls
The same old conversation
With the same old guy you've know for years
But use your imagination
And you will see....
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's the slow and steady fire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
It's your heart and soul's desire
It's the stuff that dreams are made of
What if the Prince on the horse in your fairytale
Is right here in disguise
And what if the stars you've been reaching so high for
Are shining in his eyes
Don't look at yourself in the same old way
Take another picture
Shoot the stars off in your own backyard
Don't look any further
And you will see
It's the stuff that dreams are made of....
You Have To Hurt lyrics - carly simon
"I'm in love with him", she said
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didn't have the heart
[Chorus:]
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You won't know about love
And the reason you're alive
You have to hurt
She said, "I know he'll never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before"
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
[Chorus]
Little sister, you're so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You don't know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
There's no way around it
[Chorus]
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didn't have the heart
[Chorus:]
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You won't know about love
And the reason you're alive
You have to hurt
She said, "I know he'll never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before"
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
[Chorus]
Little sister, you're so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You don't know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
There's no way around it
[Chorus]
All I Want Is You lyrics - Carly simon (feat. Roberta Flack)
What do the neighbors say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbors know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane
We got here
All I want is you
I don't want a man
To say "good morning dear"
Let 'em listen at the door
Let 'em listen through the floor
Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me 'round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share
All I want is you
I don't want a man
Who tiptoes up the stairs
All I want is you
And the freight train
Whistling over my track
All I want is you
And your Mack truck loving
Jumping me Jack!
Oh, Jack!
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love
All in tatters
What do the neighbors know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below
That really matters
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane
We got here
All I want is you
I don't want a man
To say "good morning dear"
Let 'em listen at the door
Let 'em listen through the floor
Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me 'round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess
In the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share
All I want is you
I don't want a man
Who tiptoes up the stairs
All I want is you
And the freight train
Whistling over my track
All I want is you
And your Mack truck loving
Jumping me Jack!
Oh, Jack!
As Time Goes By lyrics - carly simon
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
The fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Two Hot Girls (On A Hot Summer Night) lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Lucy Simon and Jimmy Ryan)
It happened last night we were feeling adventurous
We put on our heels and went out for a walk
More for a drink than to have a few eyes on us
Jenny and I slipped to town for some talk
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
"Look Jenny" I said "It's Dwight he just came in"
I got excited but Jenny was quick
The kettle was on and it started up steamin'
And I knew from her flirtin' she was up to her tricks
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
A song on the jukebox made me feel lonely
The kettle boiled down and evaporated me
But who was to notice 'cause Jenny was glowin'
And Dwight was all over her like a honey bee
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
Maybe I shouldn't have worn such a long dress
Maybe he thinks I'm too young or too old
If only I hadn't been born with these sad eyes
Perhaps I'm too shy or too bold
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
"Thanks for introducing us"
Said Dwight polite
And I waved goodnight
I wondered why it wasn't me
I guess it's just that the time's not right
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
We put on our heels and went out for a walk
More for a drink than to have a few eyes on us
Jenny and I slipped to town for some talk
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
"Look Jenny" I said "It's Dwight he just came in"
I got excited but Jenny was quick
The kettle was on and it started up steamin'
And I knew from her flirtin' she was up to her tricks
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
A song on the jukebox made me feel lonely
The kettle boiled down and evaporated me
But who was to notice 'cause Jenny was glowin'
And Dwight was all over her like a honey bee
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
Maybe I shouldn't have worn such a long dress
Maybe he thinks I'm too young or too old
If only I hadn't been born with these sad eyes
Perhaps I'm too shy or too bold
Me and Jenny, twinklin' like crystal and pennies
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Looking for love
"Thanks for introducing us"
Said Dwight polite
And I waved goodnight
I wondered why it wasn't me
I guess it's just that the time's not right
Two hot girls on a hot summer night
Itsy Bitsy Spider lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Sally, Ben, Alex, and Isaac Taylor)
[Chorus:]
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
I believe in love
And who knows where or when
Bit it's comin' around again
[Chorus]
I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again
[Chorus]
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
I believe in love
And who knows where or when
Bit it's comin' around again
[Chorus]
I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again
[Chorus]
My New Boyfriend lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Lucy Simon)
He never makes me feel ashamed
He bounces me high up on his back
He gives me the gold hat when I'm jump attacked
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
He call in the trumpets for a laugh
He show me the way it was in Spain
He give me the golly when I'm too insane
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just a baby
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
he loves the living daylights out of me
He springs a ladder to the moon
He sings the far side of the tune
He's a driven, silver lover
He can swim under the covers
He's a high, gold bouncing lover
He's a diver and a dreamer
He's a dolphin in the ocean
He's a rival of Orion
He bounces me high up on his back
He gives me the gold hat when I'm jump attacked
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
He call in the trumpets for a laugh
He show me the way it was in Spain
He give me the golly when I'm too insane
My new boyfriend, my new boyfriend
My new boyfriend
Protects me
He defends me
He respects me
He loves me more than you ever did
My new boyfriend isn't just a baby
My new boyfriend isn't just some kid
My new boyfriend, ooh, my new boyfriend
he loves the living daylights out of me
He springs a ladder to the moon
He sings the far side of the tune
He's a driven, silver lover
He can swim under the covers
He's a high, gold bouncing lover
He's a diver and a dreamer
He's a dolphin in the ocean
He's a rival of Orion
Come Back Home lyrics - carly simon
Summer time, kids in the street
We were up on the roof laughing at the heat
that was the last I ever saw of you
Now it's December, cold and dark
No more rainbows over Central Park
In this house no window has a view
There's no love here without you
[Chorus]
When you gonna come back home
When you gonna see it's been too long
When you gonna come back home to me
Standin' at the door and I turn the key
I'm holding my breath half expecting to see
you lyin' on the bed, smilin' up at me
I'm goin' crazy 'cause I just don't know
Which way your heart's gonna go
I only pray it leads you back to me
Darlin' let your heart
Lead you back to me
We were up on the roof laughing at the heat
that was the last I ever saw of you
Now it's December, cold and dark
No more rainbows over Central Park
In this house no window has a view
There's no love here without you
[Chorus]
When you gonna come back home
When you gonna see it's been too long
When you gonna come back home to me
Standin' at the door and I turn the key
I'm holding my breath half expecting to see
you lyin' on the bed, smilin' up at me
I'm goin' crazy 'cause I just don't know
Which way your heart's gonna go
I only pray it leads you back to me
Darlin' let your heart
Lead you back to me
Tonight And Forever lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Lucy Simon)
I've waited years
For you tonight
My faith in love has been my guiding light
I heard you voice
I read your heart
I fell in love with you though we were miles apart
tonight and forever
Tonight and forever I am yours
O sister make
My wedding bed
Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches
At the head
And scatter roses on the floor
Three bright stars shining at our door
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours
And a song on the wind
Rising from the sea
A fire so cold
A flame so new
No, I could never ask for more than you
The moon is high
The tide is in
Now the night is ours
Let the dance begin
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours
For you tonight
My faith in love has been my guiding light
I heard you voice
I read your heart
I fell in love with you though we were miles apart
tonight and forever
Tonight and forever I am yours
O sister make
My wedding bed
Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches
At the head
And scatter roses on the floor
Three bright stars shining at our door
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours
And a song on the wind
Rising from the sea
A fire so cold
A flame so new
No, I could never ask for more than you
The moon is high
The tide is in
Now the night is ours
Let the dance begin
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours
Spoiled Girl lyrics - Carly simon (feat. Kate Taylor)
When you got a pretty boy
You want a smart one
When you got a smart one
You want him pretty
When you got one who's all over you
You wish he'd hold back
Then when he's being cool
You want him to attack
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
Someone's there to cut her hair
Will you wear it up or down
What, no bubbles for the bath?
Send the chauffeur into town
You'll have fun tonight
Now you're gonna call him up
"Hi" you say "I'll call you back"
He waits and waits but no such luck
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
When you want her, you can't have her
When you need her you can't find her
She is busy keeping dizzy with the business of a little
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
You want a smart one
When you got a smart one
You want him pretty
When you got one who's all over you
You wish he'd hold back
Then when he's being cool
You want him to attack
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
Someone's there to cut her hair
Will you wear it up or down
What, no bubbles for the bath?
Send the chauffeur into town
You'll have fun tonight
Now you're gonna call him up
"Hi" you say "I'll call you back"
He waits and waits but no such luck
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
When you want her, you can't have her
When you need her you can't find her
She is busy keeping dizzy with the business of a little
Spoiled girl, living in her own world
Spoiled girl, thinks of nothing but herself
Tired Of Being Blonde lyrics - carly simon
She left the credit cards under her goodbye note
"All of these are yours, goodbye" and that was all she wrote
Keys to the Porsche she dropped on the floor in the den
Left in the '70 Dodge that he drove her in
She wasn't angry, she wasn't sad
She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had
Tired of being blonde
Tired of running around with the usual guys and gals
Tired of being blonde
Tired of living up to all he expected
Tired of being blonde
Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one
Tired of being blonde
Tired of letting her dreams go neglected
She used to love to know she rounded out his world
She used to love to be all he ever loved in a girl
He liked to buy her clothes that made her sexy and cute
Guess she decided she'd been too long away from her roots
She wasn't crazy, she wasn't mad
She just knew in her heart they had drained her of all that she had
Tired of being blonde
Tired of all the platinum frustration
Tired of being blonde
Tired of looking like a cutie on the cover of a magazine
Tired of being blonde
Tired of chasing all the latest sensations
She wasn't angry, no, no, she wasn't sad
She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had
She was tired of being blonde
Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one
Tired of being blonde
Tired of coping with the desperation
Tired of being blonde
Tired of fighting back the feeling inside that told her to run
Tired of being blonde
Tired of hiding her own inclinations
"All of these are yours, goodbye" and that was all she wrote
Keys to the Porsche she dropped on the floor in the den
Left in the '70 Dodge that he drove her in
She wasn't angry, she wasn't sad
She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had
Tired of being blonde
Tired of running around with the usual guys and gals
Tired of being blonde
Tired of living up to all he expected
Tired of being blonde
Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one
Tired of being blonde
Tired of letting her dreams go neglected
She used to love to know she rounded out his world
She used to love to be all he ever loved in a girl
He liked to buy her clothes that made her sexy and cute
Guess she decided she'd been too long away from her roots
She wasn't crazy, she wasn't mad
She just knew in her heart they had drained her of all that she had
Tired of being blonde
Tired of all the platinum frustration
Tired of being blonde
Tired of looking like a cutie on the cover of a magazine
Tired of being blonde
Tired of chasing all the latest sensations
She wasn't angry, no, no, she wasn't sad
She was just leaving a life that a lot of women wish they had
She was tired of being blonde
Tired of living a life that had only been planned by one
Tired of being blonde
Tired of coping with the desperation
Tired of being blonde
Tired of fighting back the feeling inside that told her to run
Tired of being blonde
Tired of hiding her own inclinations
The Wives Are In Connecticut lyrics - Carly Simon
He figures out a restaurant
Where they won't be recognized
He can always slip the maitre'd a ten
Get a private little table and try her on for size
Make a plan of where to do it when
He's so sly, he's in love with his lies
[Chorus:]
And the wives, the wives are in Connecticut
The wives, the wives are in Connecticut
Trying to forget it, that they really do regret it
That they moved up to Connecticut
The first year I was faithful
He confesses to the girl
Admitting to the least of his sins
His candour, so disarming, in this wicked city world
She falls for it and once again he wins
He's so shy, he's in love with his lies
[Chorus]
The five flight walk up
Can he make it?
He keeps promising to go back to the gym
He thinks about his wife
So passionate last night
Was she really feeling it for him/
Or was it junior's teacher?
Or the carpenter who put up the shelves
Or the mechanic who fixed the wagon
Or the gardener who dug the well
Or the Italian riding instructor
Or the man on the Carousel
Or the out of work actor in Westport
Or the surgeon who cured the elms
Or the man at the vegetable stand
Or the guru who cast a spell
Or the Yalie from New Haven
Or the farmer in the Dell
How about
The hairdresser from New London
The tennis pro from Fairfield
The Fuller Brush man from Bristol
The fisherman from Mystic
The novelist from New Canan
The usher at the movie theater
The architect from Guilford
The man on the carousel
Where they won't be recognized
He can always slip the maitre'd a ten
Get a private little table and try her on for size
Make a plan of where to do it when
He's so sly, he's in love with his lies
[Chorus:]
And the wives, the wives are in Connecticut
The wives, the wives are in Connecticut
Trying to forget it, that they really do regret it
That they moved up to Connecticut
The first year I was faithful
He confesses to the girl
Admitting to the least of his sins
His candour, so disarming, in this wicked city world
She falls for it and once again he wins
He's so shy, he's in love with his lies
[Chorus]
The five flight walk up
Can he make it?
He keeps promising to go back to the gym
He thinks about his wife
So passionate last night
Was she really feeling it for him/
Or was it junior's teacher?
Or the carpenter who put up the shelves
Or the mechanic who fixed the wagon
Or the gardener who dug the well
Or the Italian riding instructor
Or the man on the Carousel
Or the out of work actor in Westport
Or the surgeon who cured the elms
Or the man at the vegetable stand
Or the guru who cast a spell
Or the Yalie from New Haven
Or the farmer in the Dell

The hairdresser from New London
The tennis pro from Fairfield
The Fuller Brush man from Bristol
The fisherman from Mystic
The novelist from New Canan

Anyone But Me lyrics - Carly Simon
Straight from the hall of fame
One of the worlds great lovers
Darling you're not to blame
I'm just sorry that you've been discovered
When I look in you eyes
I know hundreds of girls have been there
I tried to be civilized
And pretend I don't care
Take me away, burn out the past
And hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
That you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
Breathless and overcome
Knowin' my desire is showing
Passion can make you dumb
But does so much to keep you going
Turn off the songs of the past romance and
Hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
that you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
With too many options
You spin like a top
you spin like a top - until you drop
But now that you've dropped I'm gonna pick you up
And love you until we just can't stop
And love you until we just can't stop
One of the worlds great lovers
Darling you're not to blame
I'm just sorry that you've been discovered
When I look in you eyes
I know hundreds of girls have been there
I tried to be civilized
And pretend I don't care
Take me away, burn out the past
And hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
That you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
Breathless and overcome
Knowin' my desire is showing
Passion can make you dumb
But does so much to keep you going
Turn off the songs of the past romance and
Hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
We'll be like Adam and Eve
that you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
With too many options
You spin like a top
you spin like a top - until you drop
But now that you've dropped I'm gonna pick you up
And love you until we just can't stop
And love you until we just can't stop
Make Me Feel Something lyrics - Carly Simon
Make me feel something
I used to feel
I used to feel something for you
But I've been sleep walking
Stumbling in false starts, fumbling into false hearts
Tumbling into false hearts, mainly mine
Make me feel something
Feel something
Can it be I'm growing old
Feel something
Maybe I'm just too controlled
Feel something
I'm much too young to feel this old
Make me walk on air
I used to dare
I used to take chances for you
But now I'm longing to feel passion
'Cause I've only been pretending
Acting out the drama
Dying for a happy end
Just to feel alive
I don't want to say "I love you"
To one more fantasy
You'd never believe
What a good actress I could be
Remember when
We were fresh in love
Your eyes were pale like the moon
We'd sit on the porch in Summer
Listen to the breezes
Spinning melodies
I dressed you up like a god
The one you were
I used to feel
I used to feel something for you
But I've been sleep walking
Stumbling in false starts, fumbling into false hearts
Tumbling into false hearts, mainly mine
Make me feel something
Feel something
Can it be I'm growing old
Feel something
Maybe I'm just too controlled
Feel something
I'm much too young to feel this old
Make me walk on air
I used to dare
I used to take chances for you
But now I'm longing to feel passion
'Cause I've only been pretending
Acting out the drama
Dying for a happy end
Just to feel alive
I don't want to say "I love you"
To one more fantasy
You'd never believe
What a good actress I could be
Remember when
We were fresh in love
Your eyes were pale like the moon
We'd sit on the porch in Summer
Listen to the breezes
Spinning melodies
I dressed you up like a god
The one you were
Interview lyrics - Carly Simon
A sweet young man sat on my chair
With a tape machine and a face of fear
He asked how does it feel to be who you are
I thought, this boy really thinks I'm a star
I answered him with humility
And then asked him if he'd like some tea
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
He asked if the rug was some ancient, lovely thing
I lied and said "Yes a gift from a king"
I watched his arms and how his lips moved
He asked me if my parents approved
He asked to see my Ruby ring
And if as a child I had liked to sing
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
I said yes, Oh yes 400 times
"You're so open" he said "do you always tell the truth?"
"Never," I said, "What's that?"
But how would it feel to hold me in your arms
You could get to know me down on the farm
Then you could see me as the child I've become
'Cause being grown up can be so lonesome
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am i interviewing you
With a tape machine and a face of fear
He asked how does it feel to be who you are
I thought, this boy really thinks I'm a star
I answered him with humility
And then asked him if he'd like some tea
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
He asked if the rug was some ancient, lovely thing
I lied and said "Yes a gift from a king"
I watched his arms and how his lips moved
He asked me if my parents approved
He asked to see my Ruby ring
And if as a child I had liked to sing
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am I interviewing you
I said yes, Oh yes 400 times
"You're so open" he said "do you always tell the truth?"
"Never," I said, "What's that?"
But how would it feel to hold me in your arms
You could get to know me down on the farm
Then you could see me as the child I've become
'Cause being grown up can be so lonesome
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Baby, how would it feel to hold me now
Interview, who's interviewing who
Are you interviewing me
Or am i interviewing you
Can't Give It Up lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Luther Vandross)
I've been saying that I'd
Leave well enough alone
Now I'm behaving
Like I'm begging you for a bone
When it feels good you can't help it
You just hang by the phone
And it felt that good last night
I can't give it up
You come on like a prince
You got everyone convinced
That you're a prince of a man
But I'm the one who knows you
I'm the one you show that you
Don't give a damn
Can't give it up, oh no, can't give it up
I've been dreaming you'd fall in love with me
No cold blooded scheming
If it could be that easy
But you still fight it
And I must like it
That I have to reach for what I want
And as long as it feels that good
I can't give it up
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
'Cause you can't give, can't give
No, I don't want you cause you
Can't give....
Leave well enough alone
Now I'm behaving
Like I'm begging you for a bone
When it feels good you can't help it
You just hang by the phone
And it felt that good last night
I can't give it up
You come on like a prince
You got everyone convinced
That you're a prince of a man
But I'm the one who knows you
I'm the one you show that you
Don't give a damn
Can't give it up, oh no, can't give it up
I've been dreaming you'd fall in love with me
No cold blooded scheming
If it could be that easy
But you still fight it
And I must like it
That I have to reach for what I want
And as long as it feels that good
I can't give it up
I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
'Cause you can't give, can't give
No, I don't want you cause you
Can't give....
Black Honeymoon lyrics - Carly Simon
You may think I'm dumb
Or you may think you're sly
But I know what you're cravin'
I've been watchin' your eyes
There's a girl 'cross the room
She's been glancin' this way
both of you wonderin'
when you'll have your day
Black honeymoon
I'll be leavin' you soon
Next time maybe I'll be the girl
Across the room
black honeymoon
She's tossin' her hair
She won't meet my stare
I turn to accuse you
You pretend she's not there
The pains not so bad
cause I've played thru this game
The players are different
But the moves they're the same
Now she's gone
And you're smilin' back
but my blood's turned to ice, ice, ice, ice
Now I don't feel undone
And I don't feel afraid
there's nothing quite so cold
As the heart you've betrayed
You Know What To Do lyrics - Carly Simon
The night is filled with pretty girls
Dancing shoes and flying hair
Not one of them would refuse
To follow you up the stairs
You could have your pick of them
Why decide to pick on me
You promised me you'd stay away
You promised me you'd set me free
Pounding of my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus:]
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do
The night is filled with shooting stars
I watch them fall 'cause I can't sleep
I pray that you won't call at all
I'm still awake at ten to three
I hear your motorcycle roar
You pull up short outside my door
I don't know how I got outside
I don't know why I'm on this ride
We make love like a house on fire
We make love like dogs gone mad
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus]
Pounding out my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus]
Dancing shoes and flying hair
Not one of them would refuse
To follow you up the stairs
You could have your pick of them
Why decide to pick on me
You promised me you'd stay away
You promised me you'd set me free
Pounding of my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus:]
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do
The night is filled with shooting stars
I watch them fall 'cause I can't sleep
I pray that you won't call at all
I'm still awake at ten to three
I hear your motorcycle roar
You pull up short outside my door
I don't know how I got outside
I don't know why I'm on this ride
We make love like a house on fire
We make love like dogs gone mad
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus]
Pounding out my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings I'll just never understand
[Chorus]
Menemsha lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Ben, Sally, Kate, Hugh, and Lucy Simon)
Peter's on the loose
I'd like to see him again
I remember when
We made love
On the jetty in the rain.
When the fishing boats would
Come back in
At the end of the day
He'd run up the hill to my cabin
With a swordfish and he'd say:
"Girl I want you all over again"
All over again
[Chorus:]
In Menemsha, Menemsha
Menemsha, Menemsha
The sunset on the sound
Were almost too much to take
We would dance on the hill
With our friends
'Til the morning would break
Everybody drank too much beer
In those days
Thank God it wasn't whiskey
Or we'd all be dead
And Peter and me we'd pull the shades
Everyone was interested
In Peter and me
[Chorus]
Damn, You Get To Me lyrics - Carly Simon (feat. Hugh and Kate Taylor)
Hey, when I say things that bother you
Don't be a stubborn man
Don't leave me in the cold
Remember who I am
Damn, you get to me
When I can't get to you,
No fair, you're silent and you're hurt
And all I want to do
Is know what I've done wrong
All I want to know is what to do
Damn, you get to me
When I can't get to you
There's too much long distance
In our love
And tonight I need you
Don't run away, please let me know
How I've hurt you
Hey, it's me, see I'm the lucky one
You've opened up my heart
You led me by the hand
You took me slow so I would understand
Damn, you got to me
Let me get to you
Don't be a stubborn man
Don't leave me in the cold
Remember who I am
Damn, you get to me
When I can't get to you,
No fair, you're silent and you're hurt
And all I want to do
Is know what I've done wrong
All I want to know is what to do
Damn, you get to me
When I can't get to you
There's too much long distance
In our love
And tonight I need you
Don't run away, please let me know
How I've hurt you
Hey, it's me, see I'm the lucky one
You've opened up my heart
You led me by the hand
You took me slow so I would understand
Damn, you got to me
Let me get to you
Is This Love? lyrics - Carly Simon
I wanna love you

Orpheus lyrics - Carly Simon
Orpheus, it could have been
you could have held me again
You said your songs had all gone
And that the road back up was too long
But it was there for us
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
The part of me that died
Was ready to be reborn
And you called of the hounds
Of hell with your songs
Orpheus, Orpheus
I loved you all along, Orpheus
Orpheus, It could have been
You could have held me again
But you couldn't wait
Somewhere along the road
you lost your faith
Out of despair and believing
I was gone
You gave up on my love
you gave up on us
But it was there for us,
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
It Happens Everyday lyrics - Carly Simon
It happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together the decide to seperate
Just how it happens
neither is certain
But it happens everyday
It happens everyday
After you break up
You say these words to your friends:
"How could I have loved that boy?
He was so bad to me in the end"
Well, you make him a liar
turn him into a robber
Well, it happens everyday.
But I don't regret that I loved you
How I loved you I will never forget
And in time I'll look back and remember
The boy that I knew when we first met.
Still it happens everyday
Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate
But am I so different
From those young girls you used to date?
You used to adore me
You used to adore me
Still it happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together the decide to seperate
Just how it happens
neither is certain
But it happens everyday
It happens everyday
After you break up
You say these words to your friends:
"How could I have loved that boy?
He was so bad to me in the end"
Well, you make him a liar
turn him into a robber
Well, it happens everyday.
But I don't regret that I loved you
How I loved you I will never forget
And in time I'll look back and remember
The boy that I knew when we first met.
Still it happens everyday
Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate
But am I so different
From those young girls you used to date?
You used to adore me
You used to adore me
Still it happens everyday
Such A Good Boy lyrics - Carly Simon
He asks her for permission
To take the car
Light his cigar
Play his guitar
Burn down the barn
He asks her for permission
To tie his shoes
To take a snooze
To read the news
To sing the blues
[Chorus:]
He's such a good boy
A real mama's boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boy
[Repeat]
He asks her for permission
To get a tan
To play his hand
To blow a grand
To be a man
He asks her for permission
To say goodnight
To see Snow White
To watch the fight
'Cause she's always right
[Chorus]
She points her finger
And waves her hand
And acts just like a Queen bee
But he's foolin' her
'Cause he doesn't ask
Her for permission
When he comes to see me
[Chorus]
To take the car
Light his cigar
Play his guitar
Burn down the barn
He asks her for permission
To tie his shoes
To take a snooze
To read the news
To sing the blues
[Chorus:]
He's such a good boy
A real mama's boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boy
[Repeat]
He asks her for permission
To get a tan
To play his hand
To blow a grand
To be a man
He asks her for permission
To say goodnight
To see Snow White
To watch the fight
'Cause she's always right
[Chorus]
She points her finger
And waves her hand
And acts just like a Queen bee
But he's foolin' her
'Cause he doesn't ask
Her for permission
When he comes to see me
[Chorus]
Hello Big Man lyrics - Carly Simon
He started a company
When he was a young man
handsome, and like a reed so tall
With a face like an old photograph
She would fall for him
Fall for him
She would fall
She wore her mother's cocktail dress
With saddle shoes
She was pretty and she was small
She worked the switchboard
Down the hall from him
Down the hall
[Chorus:]
He said: "Hello little woman"
She said: "Hello big man"
And that was how the wooing
And the winning began
He said: "Hello little woman"
She said: "Hello big man"
Of course New York in those days
Was carriage rides and matinees
He took her to a ball
At the Waldorf Astoria
He would fall for her
Fall for her, he would fall
[Chorus]
You could hear them laugh
As they danced in their room
And the shadows on the avenue
Rose into a jealous moon
Which swung low in the dawn like
To see what was going on with those two
you keep on expecting
Something to go wrong
And nothing does
They still live in the house
Where we were born
Pictures of us kids
Hanging up all over the walls
And some say he built his empire
For wealth and toil
But, if you ask him why
He'll say he did it all for her
All for her
All for her
[Chorus]
When he was a young man
handsome, and like a reed so tall
With a face like an old photograph
She would fall for him
Fall for him
She would fall
She wore her mother's cocktail dress
With saddle shoes
She was pretty and she was small
She worked the switchboard
Down the hall from him
Down the hall
[Chorus:]
He said: "Hello little woman"
She said: "Hello big man"
And that was how the wooing
And the winning began
He said: "Hello little woman"
She said: "Hello big man"

Fall for her, he would fall

For wealth and toil
But, if you ask him why
He'll say he did it all for her
All for her
All for her
[Chorus]
You Don't Feel The Same lyrics - carly simon
Honey, I don't want you to see me this way
So out of control
So carried away
'Cause you don't feel the same
And I remember times when I was your storm
I blew hot and cold
And you were so warm
But, now you don't feel the same
I remember when you were looking up at me
Like I was the only one
That you'd ever wanna see
honey, how can I ask you to stay
When you're already gone
There's no one to blame
It's just that you don't feel the same
I touch you
your eyes look away
Your hands are cold
The balance has changed
And darling, you don't feel
honey, you don't feel
No, you don't feel the same
So out of control
So carried away
'Cause you don't feel the same
And I remember times when I was your storm
I blew hot and cold
And you were so warm
But, now you don't feel the same
I remember when you were looking up at me
Like I was the only one
That you'd ever wanna see
honey, how can I ask you to stay
When you're already gone
There's no one to blame
It's just that you don't feel the same
I touch you
your eyes look away
Your hands are cold
The balance has changed
And darling, you don't feel
honey, you don't feel
No, you don't feel the same
Floundering lyrics - carly simon
First she sees her hypnotist
When she rushes to her psychiatrist
She sees her acupuncturist
She's got to got to get fixed
Then she sees her scientologist
Gets fed by her nutritionist
She can not seem to resist
Seeking cosmic consciousness
[Chorus:]
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again
Seems to be floundering again
She swears by Jack La Lanne
then she throws the I Ching again
She searches in the Himalayas
For someone to ease the pain
[Chorus]
She's looking for a cure
She does not know exactly what for
[Chorus]
She's into political activism
Reading up on Tibetan Buddism
Anna Freud's analysed her dreams
And she's hoarse from primal screams
[Chorus]
When she rushes to her psychiatrist

Seems to be floundering again
Looks like she's floundering again

Blue Of Blue lyrics - Carly Simon
The blue of blue
Is mostly grey
Ain't no silver line
No brighter day
Last of the coming up
Didn't come my way
Looks like I'm down here to stay
Down to stay
So kick me, I won't feel a thing
My senses have all been run
And there's nothing left of the used to be
but the weeping that's just begun
That sour taste too late
But now I duck my head
And no cradle rocks this empty bed
If crying's not good for me
Then I guess I'm doing wrong
So I sing this crying song
Cry along
You packed it in too soon
You lose me but not your nerve
Well I guess I know it's what I deserve
Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve
And so the curtain falls
Curtain falls
Is mostly grey
Ain't no silver line
No brighter day
Last of the coming up
Didn't come my way
Looks like I'm down here to stay
Down to stay
So kick me, I won't feel a thing
My senses have all been run
And there's nothing left of the used to be
but the weeping that's just begun
That sour taste too late
But now I duck my head
And no cradle rocks this empty bed
If crying's not good for me
Then I guess I'm doing wrong
So I sing this crying song
Cry along
You packed it in too soon
You lose me but not your nerve
Well I guess I know it's what I deserve
Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve
And so the curtain falls
Curtain falls
I'll Be Around lyrics - Carly Simon
I'll be around
No matter how you treat me now
I'll be around
When she's gone
Your latest love
Will never last
And when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone
Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say (that) you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
And I'll be around when she's gone
I'll be around
When she's gone
No matter how you treat me now
I'll be around
When she's gone
Your latest love
Will never last
And when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone
Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say (that) you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
And I'll be around when she's gone
I'll be around
When she's gone
I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good lyrics - Carly Simon
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him
I can't live without him.....
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
not made of wood
Oh, I
Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him
I can't live without him.....
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
not made of wood
Oh, I
I Get Along Without You Very Well lyrics - Carly Simon
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when the soft rains fall
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is just the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool I am
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I phone once more
No it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in Spring
But I should never think of Spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
Of course I do
Except when the soft rains fall
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is just the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool I am
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I phone once more
No it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in Spring
But I should never think of Spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
Body And Soul lyrics - carly simon
My heart is sad and lonely
I sigh for you
For you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wonder why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless you'd give me one more chance
To prove dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours just for the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you - Body and Soul
I sigh for you
For you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wonder why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless you'd give me one more chance
To prove dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours just for the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you - Body and Soul
Hurt lyrics - Carly Simon
I'm hurt
to think that you lied to me
I'm hurt
Way down deep inside of me
You said
Our love was true
And we'd never part
And now
You want someone new
And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt
Much more than you'll ever know
I'm hurt
Because I still love you so
But even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could do
I would never never hurt you
to think that you lied to me
I'm hurt
Way down deep inside of me
You said
Our love was true
And we'd never part
And now
You want someone new
And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt
Much more than you'll ever know
I'm hurt
Because I still love you so
But even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could do
I would never never hurt you
From The Heart lyrics - Carly Simon
One of us slipped last night
And said "Darling"
There in the middle of the night
Between dream and sleep
Did you say it or did I
I don't know
But it interrupted the war
That's the way
These cold wars are
I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart
One of us slipped last night
And said "Sorry"
There in the middle of the madness
Between the dark and the light
Who cares if all the doors had been closed
And no love had entered for days
Cold wars like these go up in a blaze
I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart
Thru the haze of the dream
The truth could come thru
You can see that I'm still
Open to you
I love you
I love you we said from the heart
And said "Darling"
There in the middle of the night
Between dream and sleep
Did you say it or did I
I don't know
But it interrupted the war
That's the way
These cold wars are
I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart
One of us slipped last night
And said "Sorry"
There in the middle of the madness
Between the dark and the light
Who cares if all the doors had been closed
And no love had entered for days
Cold wars like these go up in a blaze
I love you we said
Or one of us did
And the other agreed
From the heart
Thru the haze of the dream
The truth could come thru
You can see that I'm still
Open to you
I love you
I love you we said from the heart
Spring Is Here lyrics - Carly Simon
Once there was a thing called Spring
When the world was writing
Verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Seem sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here
I hear
When the world was writing
Verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Seem sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here
I hear
Pretty Strange lyrics - carly simon
Love
Who knows about love
And even those who do know
Won't reveal it
Back when you were in your prime
Love was just a waste of time
Once you'd flirt discreetly
Now you give completely
that's pretty strange
you can try to play at love
Even be blas
Who knows about love
And even those who do know
Won't reveal it
Back when you were in your prime
Love was just a waste of time
Once you'd flirt discreetly
Now you give completely
that's pretty strange
you can try to play at love
Even be blas
