Carly Simon - DanMy Fling lyrics

rate me

(jacob brackman/fred gardner)

I said that I felt jailed up

As if our doors were nailed up

I said I needed separate places

Partiesroom to move around in.

I said I needed my fling

Had to get out and do some other thing.

It took me months to calculate

That I had nothing left without you-

(chorus)

Danmy fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

I thought I'd try and write you

I thought I'd try and phone you

I thought I'd try to tell you

That I smell your hair still on my pillow

But you'd just mile to please me

You'd shake your headyou'd tease me -

Remind me it was I who first claimed

That we both required freedom

(chorus)

I'd dream up schemes to meet you

I'd nonchalantly greet you

I'd ask you up for coffee

Anytime you had an hour open.

You say you like my hair long

You ask me if I've written any new songs

You'd laughyou'd turn and cross the street

And leave me dizzy with your laughter -

(chorus)

I hear you're leaving this town

You and some girl gonna travel around

You bought a car with foldback seats

You'll camp out by the lakes and forests.

I lie alone in our old bed

Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head.

I close my eyesI smell your hair

It's like I haven't slept in years -

(chorus)
