It's Not Like Her
Words by Carly Simon and Jim Spitz
Sung to: It's Not Like Him - words and music by Carly Simon
When Sue came home her hair wasn't brushed
When she came in the door, her cheeks were flushed.
That's not like her.
She bought black panties, and new black bras,
The way she's dressing gives me pause.
She smiles out of context and acts so polite
She's staying at her sister's overnight.
She brought back gifts, That's not like her.
She's wearing lifts, that's not like her.
In Church she shifts, that's not like her.
and the sweet name she called me in her sleep last night,
Oh, that's not like her.
She's laughing in the telephone
She often goes out all alone.
That's not like her.
It's just a superficial thing,
But she's misplaced her wedding ring.
She's becoming an expert at playing pool,
She's gone when the kids are attending school.
She's so at ease, That's not like her
The kids she'll appease, that's not like her.
She just disappears, that's not like her,
and the sweet name she called me in her sleep last night,
Oh, that's not like her.
I caught a glimse of Sue you see,
in a movie line, about to see,
She had a man on her arm.
I'm glad she's helping out the lonely.
It's not the Sue I knew, if only,
Something so touching it made me cry,
But my heart was racing I don't know why.
The Madonna CDs, that's not like her.
She's civil to me, that's not like her.
The mysterious key, that's not like her.
and the sweet name she called me in her sleep last night,
Oh, that's not like her.
The games she plays, that's not like her.
The flea market all day, that's not like her.
No candy bars, that's not like her,
She's golfing par, that's not like her.
The rowing machine that's not like her.
The exercise log, that's not like her,
Long walks on the road, that's not like her.
Not like her.
That's not like her. |
