Melanie Safka - Tuning My Guitar lyrics
rate meI'm thinking what I'm doing,<br />
I'm thinking what I done,<br />
I'm thinking bout my mother,<br />
Who never thought I'd come,<br />
Quite this far from nowhere,<br />
To hear myself be sung,<br />
But I still haven't forgotten,<br />
I used to do it just for fun,<br />
<br />
When all the ones around me,<br />
Would wonder if they saw,<br />
Me singing somewhere,<br />
Tuning my guitar,<br />
<br />
Knock once, I got ten minutes,<br />
And every night's the same,<br />
You know I wish I wasn't in it,<br />
When I hear them call my name,<br />
Same people all around me,<br />
And I wonder who they are,<br />
I know they're not not my family,<br />
And they're not my friends by far,<br />
<br />
They're all the ones around me,<br />
I wonder who they are,<br />
They stand behind my curtain,<br />
And they hope I'll be a star,<br />
<br />
They say, "Get out and sell them,"<br />
But selling's not my aim,<br />
I'm gonna sing the life I'm living,<br />
And try to ease the pain,<br />
<br />
With all the ones around me,<br />
I wonder who you are,<br />
You hide behind my curtain,<br />
And you hope I'll be a star,<br />
<br />
But all the ones around me,<br />
Who don't know who you are,<br />
You hide and you look uncertain,<br />
And you hope I'll be a star,<br />
<br />
But all the ones around me,<br />
No matter who you are,<br />
Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain,<br />
I'm tuning my guitar,<br />
<br />
And all the ones, all around me,<br />
I don't care who you are,<br />
You're gonna hurl down the curtain,<br />
While I'm tuning my guitar,<br />
<br />
Oh, all the ones around me,<br />
And I don't care, I don't care who you are,<br />
To be holding the curtain,<br />
While I'm tuning my guitar,<br />
<br />
All the ones,<br />
All the ones around me,<br />
I don't care who you are,<br />
Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain,<br />
Because I'm tuning,<br />
While I'm tuning my guitar,<br />
And all the ones,<br />
Oh...<br />
