There's nothin' you can do to turn me away
Nothin' anyone can say You're with me now and as long as you stay Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before They drove you or you drove them crazy But more important is I know you're the one and I'm sure Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing And it used to be for a while That the river flowed right to my door Making me just a little too free But now the river doesn't seem to stop here anymore Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers Set me movin' to your sweetest song And I know what I think I've known all along Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing Lovin' you's the right thing to do Is the right thing Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you I love you now and I love you now Even though you're ten thousand miles away I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today I'm in love babe I'm in love with you babe. |

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)
The Carter family lived next door for almost 14 years With Gwen and I inseperatable from rag dolls through brassieres Then Gwen began to bore me with her giggles and her fears The day the Carters moved away, I had to fake my tears I told new friends Gwen Carter had become a silly pest And then I found I missed her more than I'd ever have guessed Grandma used to nag at me to straighten up my spine To act respectful and read good books To take care of what was mine I hated being criticized and asking her permission So what if her advise was wise, It always hurt to listen I didn't cry when Granny died, she made me so depressed And then I found I missed her more than I'd ever have guessed You used to make me moan in bed, but that can't be enough My friends complained your jokes were crude, Your manners were too rough Don't know just what I wanted, but I know I wanted more Someone smooth, presentable, to blend with my decor And now at night I think of how you grinned when you undressed And I find I miss you more than I'd ever have guessed. |

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror As you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? You had me several years ago When I was still quite naive Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga And your horse naturally won Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well, you're where you should be all the time And when you're not, you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain (so vain) I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? |

His friends are more than fond of Robin
He doesn't need to compliment them And always as he leaves he leaves them Feeling proud just to know him When Robin goes on holiday There's no-one livin' in our lane Oh yes, folks still live in our lane But they're not like Robin Robin, I've never told you But I'll be yours until we're old Please learn to call me in your dreams The way I'm lookin' at you is just as it seems He's talked about before he gets there Though he can never understand it And I would like to be his alone But I'm shy and can't demand it But when Robin gives his love to others There's no-one living in my heart Oh yes, I keep others in my heart But they're not like Robin |

We have no secrets
We tell each other everything About the lovers in the past And why they didn't last We share a cast of characters from A to Z We know each other's fantasies And though we know each other better when we explore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours The water was cold The beach was empty but for one Now you were lying in the sun Wanting and needing no-one Then some child came, you never asked for her to come She drank a pint of your rum And later when you told me You said she was a bore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never knew some of those secrets of yours In the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair You always answer my questions But they don't always answer my prayers And though I know you say that it's me that you adore Sometimes I wish Often I wish That I never, never, never knew Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours We have no secrets Telling each other most everything now |

At night (IN BED) I heard God whisper lullabyes While Daddy next door whistled whiskey tunes And sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize There was nothing those two couldn't do Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine And I'm leaving everything I am to you Go chase the wild and night time streets sang Daddy And God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you I thought together they must sing the moon away I thought that they must know each other well For the magic that they made, when they played Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven And God came down to earth and slipped away I pretended not to (KNOW) I'd been abandoned But no-one sang the night into the day And later night time songs came back again But the singers don't compare with those I knew And I never figured out where God and Daddy went But there was nothing those two couldn't do |

I remember a time, rompin' through the woods Sun against our skin instead of clothes When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze It was so easy then never takin' any stands It was so easy then, holdin' hands I remember a time when our fears could be named And courage meant not refusing dares I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks, No only on the squares Or else we'd be abducted by the bears It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands It was so easy then never makin' any plans It was so easy then, holdin' hands And now we are grown, with debts and regrets And broken hearts and sentimental schemes Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams Love can lead a normal woman to extremes It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan It was so easy once holdin' hands Just holdin' hands |

Now a fish kinda likes the water And that's just where he wants to be And a monkey kinda digs bananas So he lives in the top of a tree But my eyes are made for darkness So the nightime is right for me 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long Most folks they like the daytime 'Cause they like to see the shining sun They're up in the mornin' Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun But when the sun goes down And the bright lights shine My daytime has just begun 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long Won't you turn out them bright lights baby They're just about to drive me blind Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa Watch and you'll see my love light shine Now there are two sides to this great big world And one of them is always night If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby I guess you're gonna be alright But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand My eyes just can't stand the light 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long |

When you close your eyes do you see White lorelei, she's a dream She's not half as magic as she seems But she's so much fun to be with When you close your eyes do you see Places that you've never seen Yet you've been there You've been walking on the edges of a dream And you're so much fun to be with Big surprise, you've been informed you're not asleep Hard as you try you were never really meant to weep When you close your door with a sign Do not disturd, are you disturbed to find That it's just as magic as it feels And you're so much fun to be with |
