Anyone But Me

Carly Simon

Straight from the hall of fame 
One of the worlds great lovers 
Darling you're not to blame 
I'm just sorry that you've been discovered 
When I look in you eyes 
I know hundreds of girls have been there 
I tried to be civilized 
And pretend I don't care 

Take me away, burn out the past 
And hold me 
To calm my jealousy 
Hold me 
Forget your history 
I need you to show me 
We'll be like Adam and Eve 
That you love me 
I wish you had never loved anyone but me 

Breathless and overcome 
Knowin' my desire is showing 
Passion can make you dumb 
But does so much to keep you going 
Turn off the songs of the past romance and 

Hold me 
To calm my jealousy 
Hold me 
Forget your history 
I need you to show me 
We'll be like Adam and Eve 
that you love me 
I wish you had never loved anyone but me 

With too many options 
You spin like a top 
you spin like a top - until you drop 
But now that you've dropped I'm gonna pick you up 
And love you until we just can't stop 
And love you until we just can't stop
