Carly Simon - THE GIRL YOU THINK YOU SEE lyrics

rate me

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)

Tell me who you long for

In your secret dreams

Go on and tell me who you wish I was

Instead of me

I'm not necessarily

The girl you think you see

Whoever you want is exactly who

I'm more than willing to be

I'll be carefree

A Peace Corps trainee

your Gypsy Rose Lee

To please you

Who cares what I might be for real

Underneath my games

I'll let you chose from a thousand faces

And a thousand names

I'm not necessarily

the girl you think you see

Whoever you want is exactly who

I'm more than willing to be

I'll be insane

A mathematical brain

You Tarzan, me Jane

To please you

I'm not necessarily

The girl you think you see

Whoever you want is exactly who

I'm more than willing to be

I'll be a queen

A foul-mouthed marine

Your Mary Magdalene

to please you
