Them

Carly Simon · Come Upstairs [1980]

What shall we do about them

When they move into your neighborhood

They take over but good

They want you all body and soul

Then it's just your body

Then they go

What shall we do about them



What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want



One of them asked me to dine

Then he ate me all up

Got full and then he blew me up

I got big and round and lovable

He saw I was immovable

He got bored, went to war

I got one baby, he's giving me more

Once I swore I'd never give myself up



What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want



I know that them we are not

I have loved them a lot

And I have loved a lot of them

You could say that I'm experienced

Enough to know that they are aliens

Do you keep them away, beg them to stay

Say it's O.K., do it their way

I used to swear I'd never give myself up



What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want

What shall we do about them

What do they want
