The Girl You Think You See lyrics


(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
