Better Not Tell Her

Words & Music-Carly Simon
Better not tell her, that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I’m not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don’t deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after

Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don’t bother to say that it’s hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don’t deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won’t need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still

But if you slip and my name comes up
Don’t deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won’t need to know
That I’d die for your love
That I still…love…you

Is It Peace Or Is It Prozac

Words & Music-Cheryl Wheeler, Jonathan Edwards And Bob Dawson
I’m psychiatric now
It just happened
I don’t know how
Life was moving right along
At a reasonable clip
When bang zoom
Lost my grip
And I’m psychiatric now

Oh I might smile thinking things are really swell
Or I might cry - trouble is you just can’t tell
Cause I’m psychiatric now

So when I’d had enough of this
I went to a psychiatrist
I said I’m acting crazily
I think my mind is gone from me
He looked at me said I agree
You think you’re nuts and seem to be
So he prescribed some pills for me
And I went to the pharmacy
I took them and I seemed to be just … fine
There’s just one little question on my mind.

Is it peace or is it Prozac
I don’t care
No need to know that
When the moon is full and the world’s too close
I just keep my smile and I up my dose

Is it peace or is it Prozac
Is this mellow, am I a maniac
Is my mind out there and can I get it back
Is it peace I feel or is it Prozac
