(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman lyrics - Carole King

Lookin' out on the morning rain

I used to feel uninspired

And when I knew I had to face another day

Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind

But your love was the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel

You make me feel

You make me feel like

A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found

You came along to claim it

I didn't know just what was wrong with me

Till your kiss helped me name it

Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for

'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel

You make me feel

You make me feel like

A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me

You make me feel so good inside

And I just want to be close to you

You make me feel so alive

You make me feel

You make me feel

You make me feel like

A natural woman

Spaceship Races lyrics - Carole King

Baby, you're so frazzled

Spinnin' around in a busby swirl

With all that razzle-dazzle

I know at heart you want a down-home girl

Aw, ya know I want to take you to the spaceship races

Watch 'em do a few laps around the sun

But if you don't go in for far-off places

I'll take you home with me

When the day is done

Baby, you're so scattered

Your span of attention is shrinkin' fast

Your brain's been battered

By all the disappointments of the recent past

Aw, ya know I want to take you to the spaceship races

Watch 'em do a few laps around the sun

But if you don't go in for far-off places

I'll take you home with me

Didn't I see you walkin' on Main Street

Lookin' in the windows

Waitin' by turnstiles

Thinking of things you thought you'd like to buy

Living off dreams stored up in film cans

Looking at screens just waiting your turn while

You looked up and saw a rocket in the sky

Aw, ya know I want to take you to the spaceship races

Watch 'em do a few laps around the sun

But if you don't go in for far-off places

I'll take you home with me

When the day is done

When the day is done

No Easy Way Down lyrics - Carole King

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky

But now it must fall to the ground

Now your sad eyes reveal

Just how badly you feel

'Cause there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs must have been exciting

And up to the peaks you were bound

Now you're stranded alone

And the path is unknown

And there is no easy way down

No, it isn't very easy

When you're left on your own

No, it isn't very easy

When each road you take

Is one more mistake

And there's no one to break your fall

And lead you back home

We all like to climb to the heights, I know

Where our fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

There is no easy way down

You know you're gonna find

There is no easy way down

Child Of Mine lyrics - Carole King

Although you see the world different than me

Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see

All the new colors and pictures you've designed

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

You don't need direction, you know which way to go

And I don't want to hold you back, I just want to watch you grow

You're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

Or tell you how to live your life

There'll always be people to make it hard for a while

But you'll change their heads when they see you smile

The times you were born in may not have been the best

But you can make the times to come better than the rest

I know you will be honest if you can't always be kind

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine,

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Goin' Back lyrics - Carole King

I think I'm goin' back

To the things I learned so well in my youth

I think I'm returning to those days

When I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games to only pass the time

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb

Thinking young and growing older is no sin

And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend

Now I think

I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend

Now there's more to do

Than watch my sailboat glide

And every day can be

My magic carpet ride

A little bit of courage is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

To Love lyrics - Carole King

Down the road apiece he was waiting

Yes, he was waiting and you know me

I had had my fill of hesistating

And I always knew it had to be

To love, to love, to love, to love

All you need's the opportunity

To love, to love, to love, to love

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

I never will forget our first encounter

I guess I'm proud to say that it was allright

And I was so glad that I had found him

As ready as I was that night

To love, to love, to love, to love

All you need's the opportunity

To love, to love, to love, to love

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

There are those of us too cool for passion

They're the ones that it could do some good

And there are those who say it's out of fashion

They're the ones who only wish they could

To love, to love, to love, to love

All you need's the opportunity

To love, to love, to love, to love

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

Baby, don't you make a fool of me

What Have You Got To Lose lyrics - Carole King

Yes, I know you've led them on

And you've been figuring up the cost

Of your list

Your saddest goodbyes

I'm gonna stay right here with you

So if you're looking for something new

All you have to do is choose

What have you got to lose

Yes, it shows you need a change

And you've been feeling very strange

That the things that made you feel so good before

Have not been feeling good 'cuz I'm so much in love with you

All you have to do is try somethin' new

What have you got to lose

And when you're ready let me know

Come to me, I'll let your river flow

When you're ready, aw, give me a sign

It's time you stepped back out in the sunshine

Wouldn't you like to wake up and find

Me, every morning, on your mind

Oh, come on, don't be shy

Come on, you don't have to hide

Come on and get me

What have you got to lose

Come on and get me

Aw, what have you got to lose

Eventually lyrics - Carole King

Was a time I remember

Hope flashed and went dim

When assassins just happened

To do the right people in

And love was the slogan

Coincidentally

And they told us they'd work it out

Eventually

In the swing of changing time

A man cried out for his

And every politician said

He was telling us like it is

Yes, they walked down the angry streets

To have themselves a look-see

And they told us they'd work it out

Eventually

I see the choking cities

I see them tearing up this earth

I see people feelin'

That their lives have little worth

And I know that the future

Depends on you and me

I hope we can work it out

Eventually

I hope we can work it out

Eventually

Hey, maybe someday

Hey, maybe someday

Hey, maybe someday

Eventually

Raspberry Jam lyrics - Carole King

Pieces of toast

Raspberry jam

Laid out on the breakfast table

It's time to begin again

Way down in the valley

Where the rivers flow

Lives a girl named Sally

Who loves to watch things grow

Pieces of toast

Raspberry jam

Laid out on the breakfast table

It's time to begin again

Now Sally has five children

And a good old man

And they all sit down together

For their toast and their raspberry jam

Oh, how they have

Pieces of toast, raspberry jam

Laid out on the breakfast table

It's time to begin again

Can't You Be Real lyrics - Carole King

Long ago we had our dreams

And that was all that we needed

Then all at once we got to see

The cycles we repeated

Baby, can't you be real

I said, Baby, can't you be real

Anyone can look into your eyes

And tell you what you're missin'

It's been told to you many times before

But you refuse to listen

Baby, can't you be real

Oh, Baby, can't you be real

I said, Baby, can't you be real

I Can't Hear You No More lyrics - Carole King

Here you are again

Tellin' me you're sorry, baby

Tellin' me you wanna come on back home

Where you belong

There you go again,

Lyin' & a-alibi-in'

Singin' that same old worn-out song

Here it comes now

I can't hear you no more

I've heard it all before

You ain't a-reachin' me

No how, no way

No time until doomsday

I can't hear you no more

I can't hear you no more

You walked out on me once too often, baby

And I can't take no more of your jive

And that's the truth

I ain't about to let you run me in to the ground

I'm not gonna throw away my youth

No, not hardly

I can't hear you no more

I've heard it all before

You ain't a-reachin' me

No how, no way

No time until doomsday

I can't hear you no more

I can't hear you no more

You ain't a-reachin' me

No how, no way

No time until doomsday

I can't hear you no more

I can't hear you no more

You got to speak up louder

You got to speak up louder

'Cause I can't hear you no more

I can't hear you no more

Just a little bit louder

Just a little bit louder

Just a little bit louder

Just a little bit louder

Sweet Sweetheart lyrics - Carole King

You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind

Now, there have been times

When we couldn't get it on

And I thought I'd have to admit

The feeling was gone

But you just closed your mind

To all the seeds of doubt

And somehow you found a way

To make it all work out

You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind

Now when you come home

At the close of the day

You got a way of lookin'

That sends a message my way

What this message means

Any old fool could see

And the thing that makes me feel so well

Is you mean it just for me

You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind

You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind

You're a sweet sweetheart

Up On The Roof lyrics - Carole King

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I get away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street

Up on the roof

On the roof's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Oh, let's go up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free

And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you

Right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble-proof

Up on the roof

So if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two, up on the roof

Up on the roof, everything is allright

Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

Snow Queen lyrics - Carole King

High on a snow-covered mountain

From her throne she looks down at the clowns

Who think youth can be found in a fountain

High on the wings of her rhythms

She will smile at the guys who come on with their eyes

But she'll never dance with them

And in smoke-filled rooms of electric sound

A legend is built around

The Snow Queen

You may believe you're a winner

But with her you will soon bite the dust

And discover you're just a beginner

You may not think you're a loser

But in mid-air you'll be hung while you trip on your tongue

And it'll only amuse her

In the morning air you are frozen there

Caught in the icy stare of

The Snow Queen

No, my friend, she doesn't want what you're selling

My friend, there must be a place you can hide

And into the night you'll fade, knowing you lost the game

And just how she got her name of

The Snow Queen

Wasn't Born To Follow lyrics - Carole King

Oh, I'd rather go and journey where the

Diamond crescent's flowing

And run across the valley

Beneath the sacred mountain

And wander through the forest

Where the trees have leaves of prisms

That break the light up into colors

That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait

Beside the legendary fountain

Till I see your form reflected

In its clear and jeweled waters

And if you think I'm ready

You may lead me to the chasm

Where the rivers of our visions

Flow into one another

And I'll stay awhile and wonder

At the mist that they've created

And lose myself within it

Cleanse my mind and body

And I know at that moment

As I stand in that cathedral

I will want to dive

Beneath the white cascading water

She may beg and she may plead

And she may argue with your logic

Mention all the things I'll lose

That really have no value

Though I doubt that she will ever

Come to understand my meaning

In the end she'll surely know

I wasn't born to follow

Now That Everything's Been Said lyrics - Carole King

Oh, now that everything's been said

Now that everything's been done

How come you wanna leave me here

You say you got to get on along

Now, all the time I wasted

Tryin' to build a house to last

You get up this morning, pack up your sack

And tell me you'll send for the rest

Now, how come you wanna leave me here

Is it something that I said

Or is it just your style that after a while

You've got to get up and get

Oh, now that everything's been said

Now that everything's been done

How come you wanna leave me here

To work it out all on my own

Now, how come you wanna leave me here

Is there something else I should know

You may think it's strange

I never noticed the change

That made you wanna get up and go

Get up and go

Now that everything's been said

Now that everything's been done

How come you wanna leave me here

Paradise Alley lyrics - Carole King

The salesman came this mornin'

Salvation door-to-door

He offered me the property

Oh, who could ask for more

Show me around the pastures of plenty

Deliver me from the rivers of none

I'm about to be drowned

And my cup is so empty

Just let me know when my time is come

The mail was late arrivin'

The bills were all for me

It's not that I mind owing up

It's just the C.O.D.

Take me on down to the pastures of plenty

Deliver me from the rivers of none

I'm about to be drowned

And my cup is so empty

Just let me know when my time is come

The sun is setting slowly

Descending to the west

I'm prepared if the end is near

But which descent is best

Oh, which descent is best

Show me around the pastures of plenty

Deliver me from the rivers of none

I'm about to be drowned

And my cup is so empty

Just let me know when my time is come

Show me around the pastures of plenty

Deliver me from the rivers of none

I'm about to be drowned

And my cup is so empty

Just let me know when my time is come

A Man Without A Dream lyrics - Carole King

With the music of life

My soul is out of tune

And I feel like I'm growing old

Much too soon

My love I just couldn't compare

And the key to my happiness

I let slip away

Now I'm a man without a dream

I've got a heart that has no home

All my senses are numb

Losing you I've become

A man without a dream

Instead of striving to reach my goals in life

I got distracted with mean, endless games

For just an illusion I traded love that was real

Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel

Now I'm a man without a dream

I've got a heart that has no home

All my senses are numb

Losing you I've become

A man without a dream

Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate

Doomed to find out things a little too late

And so I must play this broken man's role

Unless you come home, girl

And bring back my soul

Now I'm a man without a dream

I've got a heart that has no home

All my senses are numb

Losing you I've become

A man without a dream

Victim Of Circumstance lyrics - Carole King

Out in the woods and I'm lost again

Stranded in the wilderness with no sense of direction

I do have a prayer but I don't stand a chance

Oh, I'm just a victim of circumstance

Down in the swamp I'm stuck in the sand

Thinking while I'm sinking there must be some connection

I'll twist the future lock but in the final trance

Oh, I'm just the victim of circumstance

Oh, I am a simple soul

Who takes the role for granted

But people go and lose control

And try to take advantage

Out on the street with my doubts and my plan

I've thought it through and I've come to one conclusion

I'll make the best of everything and leave the rest to chance

Oh, I'm just a victim of circumstance

Why Are You Leaving lyrics - Carole King

You told me that you had to go

You said you could not stay here

That being here just made you sad

For sunshine, ships and easy land

And you miss the pretty things you had

So what am I to tell you

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

And what's that secret sorrow that you're carrying

You said you were not born to win

But I don't think you mean it

That you think you'd better live alone

And gather people one by one

Oh, but when each new day is done

Will you turn and face my window

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

And what's that secret sorrow that you're carrying

As the day begins to fade

Electric lamps, they trick you

Into seeing faces on the wall

Old memories that you recall

And you're afraid you'll lose them all

And the promises they made you

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

And what's that secret sorrow that you're carrying

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

Why are you leaving

Lady lyrics - Carole King

If the thoughts in my head could reach a great distance

And somehow get into your mind

They'd tell you much more than all the words I could speak

From now till the end of time

Lady, now are you a lady

Do you like the one your beauty's been sold to

How does it feel when he holds you

As you reap the sad harvest of wanting too much

Determined you still feel alive

Now and then looking back to all you've forsaken

Nothing to do but survive

Lady, now are you a lady

Do you like the one your beauty's been sold to

How does it feel when he holds you

Being who you are, couldn't you tell

Knowing what you know, how could you sell

Lady, now are you a lady

Lady, now are you a lady

Lady, now are you a lady

I Don't Believe It lyrics - Carole King

You're coming on strong now

You think you're the one

You think you're the one that can change all the seasons

But you're giving me reasons not to believe it

I can hear everything you say

Hey now - but what about the things that you do

You come on so sweetly

You understand me completely

And I don't believe it

Taking it lightly but it's not very likely

That you'll ever find me, yeah

Looking for you and the things that you do

You've got all the equipment and you know

You're aware of the fact that the boys call you foxy

But to me it's just lazy 'cause you don't really mean

You say that you're sincere

Hey, but that ain't the same story I hear

You come on so sweetly

You understand me completely

But I don't believe it

No, I don't believe it

No, I don't believe it

I don't believe it

No, I don't believe it

I don't believe it

I don't believe it

No, I don't believe it

And I don't believe it

I don't believe it

Believe it

Believe it

Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll) lyrics - Carole King

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' the sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

I've been down so low

Bottom looked like up

Once I felt like second saves

Was enough to fill my cup

Now I offered all I had

But it ain't no way to live

Being taken by the ones who have the least amount to give

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' the sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

Once I met the devil - he was mighty slick

Tempted me with worldly goods

Said I could have my pick

But when he laid the paper on me

And showed me where to sign

I said, "Thank you very kindly

But I'm in too great a need of mine"

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' that sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Talking about hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Singing hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

All My Time lyrics - Carole King

The world exploded

And all the funny people who were with me

Flew away

Taking with them yesterday

And other things I could do without

Didn't you smile at me

Didn't you laugh at me

When you first knew I wanted you

And I've been thinking what you thought about

All my time, all my time

All my time belongs to you

And now it changes

Waking up and finding me

I'm where I want to be

If this is all I ever know

I'll never have a reason to complain

Didn't you smile at me

Didn't you laugh at me

The inner sun begins to shine

And soon you'll stop believing in the rain

All my time, all my time

All my time belongs to you

All my time

All my time
