In Times When My Head

Carly Simon

Compositor: Carly Simon / Jacob Brackman

In times in my head
Was together about you
I was an expert at silence

I enjoyed the blonds in their red jeeps
Stopping you on the street
Knowing none could compare with me
In my airy skirts and cool retreats

In times when my head
Was together about you
I was an expert at silence

You could have told the truth all the time
I was that at ease inside
You never made me cry
Then one night I lied
I got down with a boy in the backwoods
I didn't tell you and you didn't see
That's when jealousy
Got the dog up in me

In times when my head
Was together about you
I was an expert at silence

Now every look you get
Seems like another threat
I pick your pockets almost hoping to find
Something to hurt about
To prove you unkind

Oh, but I still love you, baby
Though now I just can't sit still
And though that boy meant nothing to me
I believe I've lost that simple thrill of the

Times when my head
Was together about you
I was an expert at silence
