Lookin' In - Bobbie Gentry[00:00:00]
Can't seem to settle down[00:00:03]
Maybe I'll just hang around[00:00:07]
But every time you pick me up[00:00:12]
I guess I take you down[00:00:17]
But here I am again[00:00:22]
You'll take me back and then[00:00:25]
It won't be long till I'll be gone[00:00:30]
Upon my way again[00:00:34]
So I spend my days thinkin' up new ways[00:00:43]
To do the same old thing[00:00:47]
Seasons come and go without a name[00:00:52]
And I spend my nights in the bright spotlights[00:00:58]
Wishin' I could let the people know[00:01:02]
Can't win or lose unless you play the game[00:01:06]
Sittin' in the airport awaitin' on my plane[00:01:18]
Nothin' to do for an hour or two[00:01:25]
So I try to find a message in a picture I drew[00:01:28]
In the corner of a letter from a boy I knew[00:01:35]
Off the plane and through the rain into a limousine[00:01:42]
The traffic's slow so I miss my show[00:01:49]
But lookin' out the window somehow I know[00:01:53]
That they're about to play my record[00:01:59]
On the radio[00:02:01]
So I write another song as I go along[00:02:06]
To let you know just where I been[00:02:09]
Don't want to meet myself at the masquerade[00:02:14]
You can tell in the verse if I get worse[00:02:21]
By the chorus I may be fine[00:02:24]
A line my friend can end the kind charade[00:02:29]
Layin' in my hotel room wantin' to be alone[00:02:40]
Needin' the time to rest my mind[00:02:47]
But they bring in another stack of papers to sign[00:02:51]
And L A 's awaitin' on the other line[00:02:58]
So I'm packin' up and I'm checking out[00:03:04]
I'm on the road again[00:03:09]
Feeling like I'm bringing pen to mind[00:03:12]
But the words will come to me in their own time[00:03:16]
Tumbling and stumbling over in rhyme[00:03:22]
And the ugliest word that I ever heard[00:03:29]
My friends is sacrifice[00:03:32]
It's an easy out for all you should have been[00:03:37]
And if there's one thing[00:03:43]
That I just can't bring myself to compromise[00:03:45]
It's blamin' somebody else for the state I'm in[00:03:51]
Oh but then again[00:03:58]
Daddy never loved his baby girl no how[00:04:02]
Ah what's the difference now[00:04:09]
