Lyrics

I'm Really The Kind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I´m really the kind to dazzle and twirl

Have tantrums like silver slanting rain

Walk up to strangers

Parade with my pride

And stride like a lion up

A mad mountainside

So steep, so lovely

Don´t think about the fall

Then suddenly, no warning

No nothing, I`m small

I´m small

Smaller than anyone, smaller than you

You see, I´m really the kind

To cower in the corner

And pray that some guy

Will have a kind word to say

Then be tiny in his arms

And be stroked to my heart

And coaxed and caressed

And combed and undressed

Then finally I´ll trust him

Abandon it all

Then suddenly, no warning

No nothing, I`m too tall

I´m tall, taller than anyone

Taller than boys

I´m tall, taller than anyone

Taller than you

The pendulum swings both ways

And I lose my equilibrium

I swing so fast inside it's motion

That I become the hum

I become the hum

You see I´m really the kind

To walk the avenues

And criticize the mannequins

And ogle the jewels

Justify spending the cash

I don´t have

Break resolutions

With a naughty little laugh

I´m nothing unless

I´m the belle of the ball

And then suddenly

No warning, no nothing

I´ve got it all, I see it all

I have it all, I have it all

It is, it is, it is, it is

It is, my soul, my soul
