Melanie Safka - Tuning My Guitar lyrics

Your rating:

I'm thinking what I'm doing 

I'm thinking what I've done 

I'm thinking 'bout my mother 

Who never thought I'd come 

Quite this far from nowhere 

To hear myself be sung 

But I still haven't forgotten 

I used to do it just for fun 



When all the ones around me 

Would wonder if they saw 

Or heard me singing somewhere 

Tuning my guitar 



Knock once, I got ten minutes 

And every night's the same 

Sometimes I wish I wasn't in it 

When I hear them call my name 

Same people all around me 

And I wonder who they are 

I know they're not my family 

And they're not my friends by far



They're all the ones around me 

I wonder who they are 

They hide behind my curtain 

And they hope I'll be a star 



An' they say, "Get out and sell them" 

But selling's not my aim 

I'm gonna sing the life I'm living 

And try to ease the pain 



Of all the ones around me 

No matter who you are 

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain 

I'm tuning my guitar



And all the ones around me 

I wonder who you are 

You hide behind my curtain 

And they hope I'll be a star 

But all the ones around me 

Who don't know who you are 

You hide and you look uncertain 

But you hope I'll be a star 



And all the ones, all around me

I don't care who you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar



All the ones, all the ones

All the ones around me

And I don't care who you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar



Oh all the ones

Who do you think that you are

Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain

I'm tuning my guitar



I'd like you to sing with me on this song because it... this is

gonna be on an "Alive at Margie's birthday party" album, and if you

don't sing, nobody will believe that anybody was there.
