One To One lyrics - Carole King

If I am the question,

You are the answer

If you are the music,

I am the dancer

Through all of the madness

And all of the sadness

Of day-to-day living

We gotta keep giving

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple,

Sweet and true

One to one, you to me

Sending the love so it's

Spreading out endlessly

Now there are those moments

When life loses meaning

And we lose our faith in

The dreams we've been dreaming

When people seem mindless

And plain human kindness

Appears to be dying

We gotta keep trying

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple,

Sweet and true

One to one, you to me

Sending the love so it's

Spreading out endlessly

I know this world needs changin'

I know the shape we're in

But with all the confusion

I've reached the conclusion

There's only one place to begin

And that's

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple,

Sweet and true

One to one, you to me

Sending the love so it's

Spreading out endlessly

It's A War lyrics - Carole King

The moon is full and I'm awake

And I don't know how much

I can take

Before I get too angry to be sad

Too many people thinkin' mean

Good ones few and far between

Takin' out on you

What they never had

It's a war, war

War any more

It's a war, war

War every day

You've got to keep your guard up

If someone else is hard up

He'll try to steal your dreams away

Once I thought of compassion as

A feelin' everybody has

Do unto others

That's the golden rule

But I found to my regret

People I had never met

Were out to get me - I was just a fool

It's a war, war

War any more

It's a war, war

War every day

You've got to keep your guard up

If someone else is hard up

He'll try to steal your dreams away

Lookin' Out For Number One lyrics - Carole King

What kind of fool do you think I am

To believe you really give a damn

You're just lookin' out for number one

You wanna win, no way you're gonna lose

Between me and you, which one will you choose

I know you're lookin' out for number one

Just look behind the silver screen you've built around yourself

You will find you're just the same as anybody else

And that's allright

What kind of fool are you gonna be

There's a locked-up soul and you hold the key

But you're too busy lookin' out for number one

What will you do, will you go through the day

Only half alive, who are you anyway

Just lookin' out for number one

What kind of chance are you willing to take

Are you willing to give just a little bit for your own sake

That's really lookin' out for number one

Really lookin' out for number one

Lookin' out for number one

Life Without Love lyrics - Carole King

It ain't no contest

And it sure ain't no conquest

It's giving and sharing

And a whole lot of caring

It's a look in his eye

That needs no explanation

And I feel sorrow for the ones who

Haven't had this sensation

Life without love

Ain't no life at all

Just take that road

Adn you're bound to fall

Life without love

Is one dead end street

Just thank you lucky stars

We happened to meet

Now to sum up all the pages

They've written about it

You're better off with it

Than you are without it

This moment is our chance

And I hope we don't lose it

We might live to regret it

If we should refuse it

Life without love

Ain't no life at all

Just take that road

Adn you're bound to fall

Life without love

Is one dead end street

Just thank you lucky stars

We happened to meet

Sure you can make it alone

And live in a world of your own

But it hurts to keep feelings inside

I know because we both tried

And life without love

Ain't no life at all

Just take that road

And you're bound to fall

Life without love

Is so bittersweet

Just thank you lucky stars

We happened to meet

Golden Man lyrics - Carole King

Golden man

You hold my heart in your hand

You made me understand

The pain the earth is feeling

You know what love is worth

You're real, and you know

Your purpose on earth

And I can see the sun

Shining in your eyes

Golden man

Beneath the crescent moon you stand

You speak to the wind and

Unmistakably it answers

And just like two dancers

We move together

In perfect harmony

And I can see the sun

Shining in your eyes

Son, lover, brother

Father and friend

From the mountain

You've come down

You wrap your love around me

And I know my soul has found me

By the way we blend again and again

And again

Golden man

My now and forever's planned

The land is our destiny and

You have brought me home to it

Together we'll build our dream

I know that we can do it

'Cause I can see the sun

Shining in your eyes

Read Between The Lines lyrics - Carole King

I wrote you a letter the other day

And I told you I was happy for you

And your new love

Now there was much more

I wanted to say

But it's hard for me to get over

My last bit of pride

But if you read between the lines

You will know that I still love you

Oh, and I'll love you forever

And always

When we were together

I never thought

You would ever be anything else

But a friend and a true love

But time has thrown its net

And now I'm caught

And I'm helpless to tell you

How much I miss you by my side

But if you read between the lines

You will know that I still love you

Oh, and I'll love you forever

And always

Do you remember smiling at me

When I looked at you

And I first saw you

And I wanted you

And you wanted me

But it's over now and I just can't see

How I'm gonna live without you

But if you read between the lines

You will know that I still love you

Oh, and I'll love you forever

And always

(Love Is Like A) Boomerang lyrics - Carole King

If you want to give your heart

Don't be afraid to try

Love is like a boomerang

It comes right back to you

You've got a need for company

Someone you know will be there

Don't let your bruised and battered soul deny it

My scars are plain to see

But love's been good to me

And I know it's because I was willing to try it

So if you want to love again

Don't hesitate any more

Love is like a boomerang

It comes right back to you

Throw it out, let it fly

Let it soar, watch it sail across the sky

Mountains are there for you to climb

People are doing it all the time

You can make it to the top if you make your attempt a strong one

So if you want to give your heart

Don't be afraid to try

Love is like a boomerang

It comes right back to you

Comes right back to you

Right back

Let it fly

Goat Annie lyrics - Carole King

When I was young I used to see her

Herdin' her goats on the hillside

No one knows

And she ain't tellin' her age

I'd say she's just about seventy-five

She's an old timer tryin'

To hold on to what she's got

They call her Goat Annie

I still remember the stories

The townspeople told to each other

Just because she liked her goats

Better than people

They said the devil was her brother

She never paid them no mind

She just kept on

Bein' herself - Goat Annie

She's a rare individual

One of a dying breed

Everything she's got

Right now

Is all she'll ever need

One day the government decided

They had to have

The land she lived on

They came with the papers

Polite as could be

They said she had just thirty days

To get gone

You could see them smirking

We're just doin' our job here

You understand, Goat Annie

She said, I was born and raised here

Ain't never done wrong to no one

You ain't gonna

Throw me off my land, not

Me or my goats or my shotgun

Then she leveled her 12-gauge

With a blast, she sent 'em packin'

Go, Goat Annie

Next day they came with the lawmen

But that didn't get 'em nowhere

Rather than shoot

At a poor old lady

They decided to let her

Live her days out there

It doesn't happen very often

But there are still some people

With heart

Like Goat Annie

Someone You Never Met Before lyrics - Carole King

When the sun goes down

Over the canyon

And you're feeling

Lost and abandoned

Some stranger may knock

Upon your door

And it may be like knowing

Someone you never met before

Now it may be a common sensation

It may lead to sadness or elation

But it's a chance

That you never had before

And it may be like knowing

Someone you never met before

Don't be afraid

The game's not been played

Until you discover your love

She's waiting for you

And all you gotta do

Is let her in, and get her in

And don't live life lonely

So when the sun

Goes down on the city

Don't give in to feeling self-pity

Your lover may be

Knocking on the door

And it may be like knowing

Someone you never met before

Someone you never met before

Little Prince lyrics - Carole King

Little prince - livin' in a dream world

Using everybody at your beck and call

You could have it all

If you only knew who you really are

Little prince - livin' in a fantasy

You're lonely, though illusion keeps you company

Take a look around

Does your little town exist

Or is it just too far from your reality

I know it can't be very easy

To be brought up treated royally

To have so-called friends all around

Who cater to you loyally

Don't it make you wonder

As you listen for the thunder

Little prince - though you may deny it

There's something in the quiet

Of your deepest soul

That's an empty hole

Though I know you don't

Want to hear it

You will never find your spirit

Until you see and be

Who you really are

Little prince, oh, little prince

You know who you are

Dancin' With Tears In My Eyes lyrics - Carole King

Never been the kind to stay at home

Even when I'm feeling down

So every night I go out on the town

Circulating around

Well, I thought I could forget about you

But every night I find

It's not as easy as I thought it would be

To dance you out of my mind

You've got me dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

You've got me dancin' with a hurt in my soul

I can't control my emotions

Ever since we said our goodbyes

Don't you know you can find me any old time

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Now anything can happen in this day and age

Just take a look at me

My body keeps moving to the happy beat

While my spirit's in misery

You can't see it with the strobe lights flashing

No, I don't look out of place

But there's a whole different picture you'll see of me

When you get a look at my face

You'll see me dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

You'll see me dancin' with a hurt in my soul

I can't control my emotions

Ever since we said our goodbyes

Don't you know you can find me, you know you can find me

Don't you know you can find me any old time

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

Dancin' with tears in my eyes

The Loco-Motion lyrics - Carole King

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

My little baby sister can do it with ease

It's easier than learning your ABC's

So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

You gotta swing your hips now

Come on, baby, jump up, jump back

Oh, well, I think you've got the knack

Now that you can do it let's make a chain now

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

Chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train now

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

Do it nice and easy now and don't lose control

A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul

Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

Move around the floor in a locomotion

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion

Come on, baby, do the locomotion

There's never been a dance that's so easy to do

It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue

Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

One Fine Day lyrics - Carole King

One fine day, you'll look at me

And you will know our love was, meant to be

One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for, will open wide

And you'll be proud to have me

Walkin' right by your side

One fine day

You're gonna want me for your girl

Though I know you're the kind of boy

Who only wants to run around

I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling

You'll come to me when you want to settle down

Oh

One fine day, we'll meet once more

And then you'll want the love you threw away before

One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

One fine day, oh

Oooh, one fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

Hey Girl lyrics - Carole King

Hey, girl, I want you to know

I'm gonna miss you so much if you go

And, hey, girl, I tell you no lie

Something deep inside of me's going to die

If you say so long

If this is goodbye

Hey girl, this can't be true

How am I supposed to exist without you

And, hey, girl, now don't put me on

What's gonna happen to me when you're gone

How will I live

How can I go on

How can I go on

Hey, girl

Hey, girl, now sit yourself down

I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground

And then beg you to stay

Don't go away

Hey, girl

Don't go away

Chains lyrics - Carole King

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains

And they ain't the kind that you can see

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains

Can't run around

'Cause I'm not free

Whoa, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah

Now believe me when I tell you

I think you're fine

I'd like to hold you

But I can't break away from all of these chains

My baby's got me locked up in chains

And they ain't the kind that you can see

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

I wanna tell you, pretty baby

Your lips look sweet

I'd like to kiss them

But I can't break away from all these chains

My baby's got me locked up in chains

And they ain't the kind that you can see

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

My baby's got me locked up in chains

And they ain't the kind that you can see

Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

Chains, chains of love

Chains of love

Chains of love

Oh, these chains of love got a hold on me

Oh No, Not My Baby lyrics - Carole King

When my friends told me you had someone new

I didn't believe a single word was true

I showed them all I had a faith in you

I just kept on saying

Oh, no, not my baby

Oh, no, not my sweet baby

You're not like those other guys

Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread

There's truth somewhere and I should use my head

But I didn't listen to what she said

I kept right on saying

Oh, no, not my baby

Oh, no, not my sweet baby

You're not like those other boys

Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well, you might have had a last minute fling

But I am sure it didn't mean a thing

'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring

And I'm so glad that I kept on saying

Oh, no, not my baby

Oh, no, not my sweet baby

You're not like those other guys

Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh, no, not my baby

Oh, no, not my sweet baby

Oh, no, not my baby

Oh, no, not my sweet baby

Time Gone By lyrics - Carole King

The rebel cry of desolation

To which we used to hearken

Echoes now in isolation

As the skies in fury darken

A thousand acts of desecration

Hundreds more continue

When y'know that you are all creation

You're gonna fight 'em with all that's in you

I remember time gone by

When peace and hope and dreams were high

We followed inner visions and touched the sky

Now we who still believe won't let them die

Waters dammed to overflowing

Like tears brimming over in our eyes

Sometimes it's so hard to keep on going

When promises turn to lies

Go ahead, give in to confusion

And put aside your ideals, too

Soon you'll see only illusion

Don't care who's hurt

As long as it's not you

I remember time gone by

When peace and hope and dreams were high

We followed inner visions and touched the sky

Now we who still believe won't let them die

Sometimes a leader emerges

And is followed for awhile

Doesn't matter what he encourages

As long as he's got style

Young ones conceived in a passion

Of directions we thought enlightened

Grown-up, they follow the mood in fashion

But beneath their bravado

You know they're frightened

I remember time gone by

When peace and hope and dreams were high

We followed inner visions and touched the sky

Now we who still believe won't let them die

Move Lightly lyrics - Carole King

Why don't you move lightly

Why don't you move lightly

That's your heart you're dealing with

That's your head you're messin' around with

Why don't you move lightly

Let it all work out now, just let go

Pretty soon you're gonna know what you wanna know

Why don't you walk softly

You ought to walk softly

That's a hard and heavy foot

You've been usin' to put yourself down

Why don't you walk softly

If you win the world and lose your soul

What good will it do you - love don't come from gold

Why don't you drift easy - why don't you drift easy

If there's something you're still after

Are you sure you're gonna like the way it'll make you feel

Well I won't worry 'cause I know you'll find

Your own way, in your own time, and I'm easy

And I'm gonna move lightly

Dreamlike I Wander lyrics - Carole King

Evening is falling - velvety black

Another day is over and you're still not back

Quarter moon is rising up over my head

With stars for companions and clouds for a bed

Dreamlike I wander through my life without you

I know that you wish me well - and I wish the same for you

But oh, y'know how I miss you

Your kiss, the touch of your hand

Why did you leave me

I just don't understand

Don't know every morning if the dawn's gray or gold

All I know is another night is over

And my bed is empty and cold

I can't forget you

Can't set myself free

I hope you find peace of mind

It's too late for me

Walk With Me (I'll Be Your Companion) lyrics - Carole King

I am me - who are you

I'm on my way to somewhere through tomorrow

If that's where you're going, too

Would you care to walk with me today

Living for the moment - feelin' what I feel

Nowhere in particular to go

And nothing to conceal

Walk with me - I'll be your companion

I may not have an awful lot to say

You can be anything you want to

And anytime you want to walk away - it's okay

Chances come - fortunes go

And I don't know what lies beyond the crossroad

Since I'm tryin' to travel light

I got no past or future on my mind

Through all my reflections - one thing is plain to see

Knowin' I am not alone

Means more than anything to me

Good Mountain People lyrics - Carole King

I've seen people - just because they've had some schooling

Think they know all there is to know

Well, I've done some movin' around in my time and I ain't foolin'

One of my favorite places to go

Is where there's

Good mountain people who make y' feel so fine

Good mountain people - they sure know how to have a rockin' good time

I've traveled in vehicles over miles of country

Too fast to stop and look around

But I'm like a child again, I'm learnin' how to run free

It's good to feel my feet back on the ground

Livin' with those

Good mountain people who make y' feel so fine

Good mountain people - they sure know how to have a rockin' good time

It's quite a sight to see rednecks and longhairs

After years on the opposite sides of the fence

Helpin' each other in time of need, knowin' they both belong there

Working it out with good old common sense

Just because they're

Good mountain people who make y' feel so fine

Good mountain people - they sure know how to have a rockin' good time

You Still Want Her lyrics - Carole King

From the shelter of your solitude you see her

Running circles 'round the emptiness within

And you wonder what it's been like to be her

As you feel yourself awakening

Though she fills her life between with new adventure

There's confusion in her eyes each time you meet

You don't think she's gonna last another winter

With all the snow she's rakin' in

You can't believe you still want her

After all these years of knowing her so well

All the same you'd willingly consign yourself

To a life of hell

You would think by now you'd see it in perspective

She's too insecure to ever really change

You've convinced yourself this time you'll be objective

You won't need any breakin' in

There's no reason to believe it will be different

She's still playing games and running from herself

But you've always thought your love for her could save her

And that's how you get taken in

Passing Of The Days lyrics - Carole King

May you travel bright and cheery

The many roads ahead you'll have to blaze

Gonna be hard times to make you weary

It's a part of the passing of the days

With all the people in the middle

Selling things that self-destruct and make us bleed

One day it's all gonna fall down

Then you'll find out you're all you really need

May you wander through the changes

With the warmth of the sun behind the haze

When your lifestyle quickly re-arranges

May you follow the passing of the days

We trade our money for magic words

Like Dumbo flying high in the nightly show

You think you can't fly without them

But someday when it happens you will know

May you travel bright and cheery

The many roads ahead you'll have to blaze

Gonna be hard times to make you weary

It's all part of the passing of the days

May you follow the passing of the days

Crazy lyrics - Carole King

Y'get up every morning, see the same old face

Y'get in your car and drive it down to the same old place

Well, do you ever wonder what it's all about

Something they call freedom of choice

That you should not live without

Me, I'm feelin' lazy

And it's me that's on the line

I may be crazy

But I've been crazy for a long time

You take your action on weekends at a time

But you can make all week your own

If you set your mind

You see security in the chrome American dream

But I don't believe in livin' in the middle

With available extremes

Now there's many people see the truth in what I'm sayin'

But it's hard to make up your mind with a programmed brain

You who know better, but you're just gonna wait and see

Why don't you do it now, you may never get another

Opportunity

Eagle lyrics - Carole King

Eagle wants to fly again

Though she's been shot down

You can see her tryin'

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she's gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

Strong heart feels abandoned

He's been away from what he loves the best

But his spirit isn't broken

He feels content around the Eagle's nest

Ah, but you can feel his patience

And you know whatever strong heart does

He never longs for what was

He lives each moment to the end

Eagle wants to fly again

Though she's been shot down

You can see her tryin'

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she's gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

Through it all she tends her young ones

Doing what she can to help them grow

Maybe they will fly away before her

And her only choice is just to let them go

Eagle sees her sister

Living free up on the mountain top

So she doubles her effort

Till you think that she is bound to drop

But Eagle has the courage

You can tell that she's been felled before

She was born to soar

And she's gonna soar again
