Linda Ronstadt - You Tell Me That I'm Falling Down lyrics

words by Anna McGarrigle music by Carol S. Holland © Anna McGarrigle and C.S. Holland (ASCAP) You tell me that I'm falling down A drifter with no role You tell me that I need a friend To help me take control Well let it be I'm not alone I'm only lonely see And you can't tell me where to go Or what or who to be I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me I may not lead the simple life I've no love of my own If no one gives me all his heart I'll manage with a loan I'm very used to feeling sad It doesn't make me cry And yes I do know how to love And what you say's a lie I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me You tell me that I'm falling down A drifter with no role You tell me that I need a friend To help me take control Well let it be I'm not alone I'm only lonely see And you can't tell me where to go Or what or who to be I am exactly what I am And not the way you'd like to see me be I look outside long as I can Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me
