I'm Really The Kind - Carly Simon
I'm really the kind to dazzle and twirl Have tantrums like silver slanting rain Walk up to strangers Parade with my pride And stride like a lion up A mad mountainside So steep, so lovely Don't think about the fall Then suddenly, no warning No nothing, I'm small I'm small Smaller than anyone, smaller than you You see, I'm really the kind To cower in the corner And pray that some guy Will have a kind word to say Then be tiny in his arms And be stroked to my heart And coaxed and caressed And combed and undressed Then finally I'll trust him Abandon it all Then suddenly, no warning No nothing, I'm too tall I'm tall, taller than anyone Taller than boys I'm tall, taller than anyone Taller than you The pendulum swings both ways And I lose my equilibrium I swing so fast inside it's motion That I become the hum I become the hum You see I'm really the kind To walk the avenues And criticize the mannequins And ogle the jewels Justify spending the cash I don't have Break resolutions With a naughty little laugh I'm nothing unless I'm the belle of the ball And then suddenly No warning, no nothing I've got it all, I see it all I have it all, I have it all It is, it is, it is, it is It is, my soul, my soul
