Carly Simon
Playing Possum
Slave
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
Listening for your footsteps
Just waiting like a fool
Burning with a fever
Only you can cool
The clock beside my pillow
Has ticked away the night
Like a heartbeat mocking me
Until the light
Gotta stop these thoughts about you
Gotta learn to live without you
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave
'cause i'm hungry for you
And i'm longing for you
And i'm burning for you
I worship your opinions
I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me
With a word of praise
However much i tell myself
That i'm strong and free and brave
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Slave, nothing but a slave
Mind of a slave
Body of a slave
I find i gave away the soul
That i wanted you to save
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Hungry for you
And longing for you
Burning for you
And i'm longing for you
Burning for you
And i'm yearning for you
Longing for you
In the Know
