Only a Passing Phase - Fenella Fielding

I'm a Black Jack label You're a classy glass of red So girl, whatcha doin' here tonight Messin' up my bed? You don't really love me You just think that you do I'm just a phase you're goin' through Someday soon, baby You're gonna wake up and see There ain't never gonna be a forever for you and me Someday soon, baby You're gonna look back and smile That you got hooked on a guy like me for a little while 'Cause I'm a Friday nighter You're a Sunday afternoon I'm a reckless rock and roller You're a last slow dance to a midnight tune Deep in your heart I know you know I ain't right for you Yeah, I'm just a phase you're goin' through Yeah Yeah, someday soon, baby You're gonna wake up and see There ain't never gonna be a forever for you and me, yeah Someday soon, baby You're gonna look back and smile That you got hooked on a guy like me for a little while I guess I might be crazy For lovin' life But baby, until the last kiss from your lips tells me goodbye I'm gonna lay right here And pretend that it ain't true I'm just a phase you're goin' through Yeah, I'm just a phase you're goin' through Girl, I'm just a phase You're goin' through

Down in the dumps, I resurface I feel like I put the worth in worthless Take all my lumps with a purpose Higher than a bird despite the burdens Things are not going my way But I'm still waking up grateful everyday Ok ok (Uh-uh) Bad vibes come around but never stay It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave (Yeah Yeah) What can I say Hey, things are not going my way But I'm still waking up grateful everyday Ok ok (Uh-uh) Life is only what you make It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave That's what I say I cannot complain Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain I survived another day As a child I was afraid of obligations Now I recognize that time was not a phase But I'm great And that instant validation ain't been hitting so I'll wait Long as it takes Keeping the faith Can't hit the breaks But I can't catch 'em either man shit Thinking it's best for me to vanish Slipping fast I need a damn grip Plan B to C to plan X Nothing a lil tequila can't fix I find my peace when I'm falling to pieces and you best believe that it's tiring Things looking bleak then I'm due for a peak If I'm weakened at least I'm inspiring My time is money and talking is cheap but I don't say a peep, I ain't buying in I got people who love me and people who don't But they still want a piece of the pie again Things are not going my way But I'm still waking up grateful everyday Ok ok (Uh-uh) Bad vibes come around but never stay It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave (Yeah Yeah) What can I say Hey, things are not going my way But I'm still waking up grateful everyday Ok ok (Uh-uh) Life is only what you make It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave That's what I say Super busy so it's crazy that I'm looking for a rush I'm waiter but I need a different bus Cuz tables aren't the way to get them bucks Thankful for the woman that I love And the homies always picking up Late night corner store runs Like do you wanna come, just for fun I cannot complain Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain I survived another day As a child I was afraid of obligations Now I recognize that time was not a phase

If you wanna know why I've been losing sleep Look in the mirror the same way you look at me Every time I spill my guts, and you don't believe Am I dramatic or dying? I guess we'll see This is not a phase I can't remember the last time I felt okay So if you think that it's so easy being me Live in my head for a day, and you'll see No This is not a phase If you wanna know why I always hide what hurts Listen to what you say when I'm at my worst Every word is proof you're the one that's cursed (hmm) Will they kill me before you can ever learn? This is not a phase I can't remember the last time I felt okay So if you think that it's so easy being me Live in my head for a day, and you'll see No It's not a trend, it's not a trick I'm not dramatic, I'm just sick I'm so afraid it's come to this A chance to save my life you'll miss (a chance to save my life you'll miss) This is not a phase (this is not a phase) No This is not a phase (this is not a phase) So if you think that it's so easy being me Live in my head for a day, and you'll see No This is not a phase I can't remember the last time I felt okay So if you think that it's so easy being me Live in my head for a day, and you'll see No This is not a phase

December slides into January Which mutates into February Which creeps towards March There is a theory that obliterating Paul might have Satisfied something, but no, no I've continued to have intense dreams about vivisection My nightly blood lust continues to overflow Hey pretty girl Do you wanna dance?
