Альбом Carly Simon

Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

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 toaster
Kiss the host goodbye
Then you break a window
burn the Soufflé
Scream the lullaby

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

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again...

I have no need of half of anything
No half time, no half 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 will 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

[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

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 remembering
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?

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 wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
Yes they will
Yes they will

(Spoken)
You women out there
Boy, it's hard to find a good and sensitive man
A man who loves you for who you are
Who really appreciates you
And you know this guy
I mean you start up with a new man
And something you don't know about him
Just might hurt you
So stick with your man
Don't ever take him for granted

‘Cause if you think
Nobody wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Some woman will have your man
Before you can count 1-2-3
Yes she will
Yes she will

(Spoken)
Same goes for you men
There are so many women out there
That just want to break your heart
You got a woman that plays fair
That you can trust?
And hey, she's fun to be with
Don't expect any one woman to fulfill every one of your needs
They're only human too
Besides which, it's cooler for you to be faithful

And if you think
Nobody wants her
Just let her out on the street
And you will see
Some other man will have her
Before you can count 1-2-3
Yes he will
Yes he will

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
And it’s already cost
The one you could love your whole life

You'd better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got

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

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

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

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

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

(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....

“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

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

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

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)

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!

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

It happened last night we were feeling adventurous
We put on our heels and went out for a walk
More for a drink and 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

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
But it’s comin’ around again

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 know nothin’ stays the same
But if you’re willing to play the game
It’s comin’ around again

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
