I’m Really the Kind Songtext
von Carly Simon

I′m really the kind
To dazzle and twirl
Have tantrums like silver slanting rain
And walk up to strangers
Parade with my pride
And stride like a lion up a mad mountainside
So steep, so lovely
Don't think about the fall
Then suddenly
No warning
No nothing
I′m small
I'm small
Smaller than anyone
Smaller than you
See I'm really the kind
To cower in the corner
And pray that some guy′ll have a kind word to say
Then be tiny in his arms
And be stroked to my heart


And coaxed and caressed
And combed and undressed
And finally I′ll trust him
Abandon it all
Then suddenly
No warning
No nothing
I'm too tall
I′m tall
Taller than anyone
Taller than boys
I'm tall
Taller than anyone
Taller than you
The pendulum swings both ways
And I lose my equilibrium
I swing so fast inside its motion
That I become the hum
I become the hum
See I′m really the kind
To walk the avenue
And criticize the mannequins
And ogle the jewels
Justify spending the cash I don't have
Break resolutions with a naughty little laugh
I′m nothing unless I'm the belle of the ball
But then suddenly
No warning
No nothing
I've got it all
I see it all
I have it all
I am it all
It is, it is, it is, it is, it is my soul
My soul
