Make Me Feel Something

Carly Simon · Spoiled Girl [1985]

Make me feel something

I used to feel

I used to feel something for you

But I've been sleep walking

Stumbling into false starts

Fumbling around with false hopes

Tumbling into false hearts

Mainly mine



Make me feel something

Feel something

Can it be I'm growing cold

Feel something

Maybe I'm just too controlled

Feel something

I'm much too young to feel this old



Make me walk on air

I used to dare

I used to take chances for you

But now I'm longing to feel passion

'Cause I've only been pretending

Acting out the drama

Dying for a happy ending

Just to feel alive



Make me feel something

Feel something

Can it be I'm growing cold

Feel something

Maybe I'm just too controlled

I want to feel something

I'm much too young to feel this old



I don't want to say "I love you"

To one more fantasy

You'd never believe

What a good actress I can be



Remember when

We were fresh in love

Your eyes were pale like the moon

We'd sit on the porch in Summer

Listenin' for the breezes

Spinning melodies up from the river

I dressed you up like a God

The one you were



Make me feel something

Feel something

Can it be I'm growing cold

Feel something

Maybe I'm just too controlled

Feel something

Make me feel

Make me feel

Make me feel something



Feel something

I want to feel something

Make me feel something



Going through the motions

I've been going through the motions

About how I want to feel
