Lookin` In lyrics

Artist  : Bobbie Gentry 
Song : Lookin` In



 Send "Lookin` In" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Can't seem to settle down

Maybe I'll just hang around

But every time you pick me up

I guess I take you down

But here I am again

You'll take me back and then

It won't be long till I'll be gone

Upon my way again



So I spend my days thinkin' up new ways

To do the same old thing

Seasons come and go without a name

And I spend my nights in the bright
spotlights

Wishin' I could let the people know

Can't win or lose unless you play the game



Sittin' in the airport, awaitin' on my plane

Nothin' to do for an hour or two

So I try to find a message in a picture I
drew

In the corner of a letter from a boy I knew



Off the plane and through the rain into a
limousine

The traffic's slow so I miss my show

But lookin' out the window somehow I know

That they're about to play my record

On the radio



So I write another song as I go along

To let you know just where I been

Don't want to meet myself at the masquerade

You can tell in the verse if I get worse

By the chorus I may be fine

A line, my friend, can end the kind charade



Layin' in my hotel room, wantin' to be alone

Needin' the time to rest my mind

But they bring in another stack of papers to
sign

And L.A.'s awaitin' on the other line



So I'm packin' up and I'm checking out

I'm on the road again

Feeling like I'm bringing pen to mind

But the words will come to me in their own
time

Tumbling and stumbling over in rhyme



And the ugliest word that I ever heard

My friends, is sacrifice

It's an easy out for all you should have been

And if there's one thing

That I just can't bring myself to compromise

It's blamin' somebody else for the state I'm
in

Oh, but then again

Daddy never loved his baby girl, no how

Ah, what's the difference now
