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[00:00:11]
I guess I take you down[00:00:16]
But here I am again[00:00:21]
You'll take me back and then[00:00:25]
It won't be long till I'll be gone[00:00:28]
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[00:00:46]
Seasons come and go without a name[00:00:51]
And I spend my nights in the bright spotlights[00:00:58]
Wishin' I could let the people know[00:01:01]
Can't win or lose unless you play the game[00:01:06]
Sittin' in the airport awaitin' on my plane[00:01:17]
Nothin' to do for an hour or two[00:01:24]
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[00:01:34]
Off the plane and through the rain into a limousine[00:01:42]
The traffic's slow so I miss my show[00:01:48]
But lookin' out the window somehow I know[00:01:52]
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[00:02:05]
To let you know just where I been[00:02:09]
Don't want to meet myself at the masquerade[00:02:13]
You can tell in the verse if I get worse[00:02:20]
By the chorus I may be fine[00:02:23]
A line my friend can end the kind charade[00:02:28]
Layin' in my hotel room wantin' to be alone[00:02:40]
Needin' the time to rest my mind[00:02:46]
But they bring in another stack of papers to sign[00:02:50]
And L A 's awaitin' on the other line[00:02:57]
So I'm packin' up and I'm checking out[00:03:03]
I'm on the road again[00:03:08]
Feeling like I'm bringing pen to mind[00:03:11]
But the words will come to me in their own time[00:03:15]
Tumbling and stumbling over in rhyme[00:03:22]
And the ugliest word that I ever heard[00:03:28]
My friends is sacrifice[00:03:32]
It's an easy out for all you should have been[00:03:36]
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[00:03:50]
Oh but then again[00:03:57]
Daddy never loved his baby girl no how[00:04:02]
Ah what's the difference now[00:04:08]
