Janis Ian
Society's Child

COME TO MY DOOR, BABY
FACE IS CLEAN AND SHINING BLACK AS NIGHT
MY MOTHER WENT TO ANSWER YOUR NOTE
AND YOU LOOKED SO FINE
NOW I COULD UNDERSTAND THE TEARS & THE SHAME
SHE CALLED YOU BOY INSTEAD OF YOUR NAME
WHEN SHE WOULDN'T LET YOU INSIDE
WHEN SHE TURNED AND SAID
"BUT HONEY, HE'S NOT OUR KIND"

SHE SAID I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY
CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE

WALK ME DOWN TO SCHOOL NOW BABY
EVERYBODY'S ACTING DEAF AND BLIND
UNTIL THEY TURN AND SAY
"WHY DON'T YOU STICK TO YOUR OWN KIND"
MY TEACHERS ALL LAUGH, THEY SMIRKED & THEY STARED
CUTTING DEEP DOWN IN OUR AFFAIRS
PREACHERS OF EQUALITY
THINK THEY BELIEVE IT
THEN WHY WON'T THEY JUST LET US BE?

THEY SAY I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY
CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE

ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA STOP MY LISTENING
GONNA RAISE MY HEAD UP HIGH
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA RAISE UP
MY GLISTENING WINGS AND FLY
BUT THAT DAY WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A WHILE
CAUSE BABY, I'M ONLY SOCIETY'S CHILD
WHEN WE'RE OLDER, THINGS MAY CHANGE
BUT FOR NOW THIS IS THE WAY THEY MUST REMAIN

I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY
I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE
NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANY MORE
BABY


Mirror lyrics:

BABY
NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANY MORE
I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE
I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY

BUT FOR NOW THIS IS THE WAY THEY MUST REMAIN
WHEN WE'RE OLDER, THINGS MAY CHANGE
CAUSE BABY, I'M ONLY SOCIETY'S CHILD
BUT THAT DAY WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A WHILE
MY GLISTENING WINGS AND FLY
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA RAISE UP
GONNA RAISE MY HEAD UP HIGH
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GONNA STOP MY LISTENING

CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE
THEY SAY I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY

THEN WHY WON'T THEY JUST LET US BE?
THINK THEY BELIEVE IT
PREACHERS OF EQUALITY
CUTTING DEEP DOWN IN OUR AFFAIRS
MY TEACHERS ALL LAUGH, THEY SMIRKED & THEY STARED
"WHY DON'T YOU STICK TO YOUR OWN KIND"
UNTIL THEY TURN AND SAY
EVERYBODY'S ACTING DEAF AND BLIND
WALK ME DOWN TO SCHOOL NOW BABY

CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE
SHE SAID I CAN'T SEE YOU ANY MORE, BABY

"BUT HONEY, HE'S NOT OUR KIND"

NOW I COULD UNDERSTAND THE TEARS & THE SHAME
AND YOU LOOKED SO FINE
MY MOTHER WENT TO ANSWER YOUR NOTE
FACE IS CLEAN AND SHINING BLACK AS NIGHT
COME TO MY DOOR, BABY

les chevaux rebelles

broken promise

come into our room

ik en m'n beesie

we wish you a merry christmas

the waiting one

i don't understand you

pray

see not what you want, but who you really are

â¿a dã³nde se marchã³ el amor

if i had you

jag vill ha ett hurra

time to end the story

si no es mucho pedir

play me something

like that

dernier service

total eclipse

with you

come down in time
