Carly Simon - Back The Way (Dottie's Point Of View) lyrics

Back the way it was before Before the door was opened Back the way it was before Before the ice was broken Back the way it used to be Everyone thought I was funny But nobody ever asked me If I wanted tiny little sandwiches Sent up to my room Back the way it was before I was always waiting Everybody thought I was okay But now I'm scintillating But the way it used to be Some people thought I was pretty But not many pa**es were made at me Back the way it was before But now my prayers are answered And my star is on the rise Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping Everyone's my best friend Back the way it used to be Money was always a tyrant I spent it all paying my rent Back the way I was before But now my prayers are answered And my star is on the rise Flashbulbs popping, traffic stopping Everyone's my best friend Back the way it used to be Sing a song of long ago Back the way it used to be.
