Carole King Quotes

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now.
Come on baby, do the locomotion.
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now.
Come on baby, do the locomotion. My little baby sister can do it with ease;
It's easier than learning your ABC's.
So come on, come on do the locomotion with me.

What should I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?

It might as well rain until September.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
And sometimes the blues just get a hold of you.

All around the block people will talk.

I just don't want, I don't want to waste it.

The way my broken heart is hurting me.
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain.
I'll do my crying in the rain.

And you will know our love was, meant to be.
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl.

Now and forever, you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife.
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life? Now and forever, I'll remember
All the promises still unbroken.
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken.

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed.
I'm only halfway to paradise,
So near, yet so far away.

Hey girl I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
And hey girl I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye.

All you have to do is touch my hand
To show me you understand
And something happens to me.
That's some kind of wonderful.
