I thought I had myself all figured out
But I've spent my whole life holding myself down
And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly
Addicted to the pain I cause myself
My head is floating somewhere in the clouds
While I'm paid to entertain a lively crowd
They sing my songs and feel my pain cause pain is what creates my fame
A vicious cycle some day I'll get out

I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far
On my way with a smile on my face to the top and I'm not falling off
All I need is a microphone I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me 
It's safe to say all the kids I relate to their lives so just keep holding on

It's hard enough try walking in my shoes
To be picked on by my peers to much abuse
And I'm tired of not fitting in
True friends are my final wish just let me be myself and make it through
I have tried so hard to be a better soul
I have worked so hard at making myself whole
And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear just trust me when I say I'm in control

I believe I'm just like you
I believe I'll make it through 
It's hard to see at times like this, I'm not giving in, I'm not giving in

MELANIE Do You Believe

Drops Of Jupiter

"For the first time, I'm not afraid to voice exactly what I feel. I used to feel that I didn't want to say too much, but now I can say anything. I feel like a person who's never been heard. Maybe people think they've heard me, but they never really have. I'm a new artist who is having so much fun with my voice -- a person shouldn't be allowed to have so much fun. I'm the woman I wanted to be when I was sixteen and going for Edith Piaf. It's me -- I'm back."

Hushabye

And the saddest thing under the sun above
is to say goodbye to the ones you love
سخت ترین چیز زیر گنبد کبود
خداحافظی کردن با کسانیست که عاشقشان هستید

All the things that I have known
became my life, my very own

تمام چیزهایی که شناخته ام, زندگی ام شد, قسمتی از وجودم

But before you know you say goodbye
ooh good time goodbye, it's time to cry

آه که قبل از اینکه بدانی, خداحافظی میکنی
ای روزهای خوب خداحافظ که زمان گریستن است

But I will not weep nor make a scene
just say thank you life for having been

اما نه من نه هرگز ناله ای می کنم و نه جار میزنم بین مردم
تنها میگویم زندگی ازت ممنونم که جاری بوده ای

And the hardest thing under the sun above
it's to say goodbye to the ones you love

و سخترین چیز زیر گنبد کبود,
 خداحافظی کردن با کسانیست که عاشقشان هستید

No, I will not weep nor make a scene
I'm gonna say oh thank you life for having been

اما نه من نه هرگز ناله ای می کنم و نه جار میزنم بین مردم
تنها میگویم زندگی ازت ممنونم که جاری بوده ای

The loudest cry under the sun above
is the silent goodbye from the ones you love

بلندترین گریه زیر گنبد کبود
خداحافظی خاموشیست که از آنها که عاشقشان هستید میشنوید

The Saddest Thing   Melanie Safka

Achingly beautiful, live in London, '75...

MELANIE Leftover Wine (live '75)

Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song.

The Ballad of Crazy Love

'Here I Am'is to be found on Stoneground Words. Stoneground Words is in another class altogether -- a mature, intelligent and ambitious work, easily as good as most singer/songwriter fare of its time. 

Here I Am

I look across to the waterline 
the shore ~ trees 
then sky knowing full well 
there's more 
when will I see the rest

PUT A HAT ON YOUR HEAD
Writers: Melanie Safka and Peter Schekeryk
Publishers: EMI Music/Ramalam Music
Bonus song on the 12" single EVERY BREATH OF THE WAY (1983)

I got punk rock cut this morning and I look like me to you
But to me I looked too Eighties so I got a perm by two
I used to love to be natural but now I’m looking for style
But I don’t know what to do with my hair
(She don’t know what to do with her hair)
I don’t know what I’m going do with my hair
So I’ll wear a hat for a while

Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed
To keep you feeling Sunday
And underneath you can grit your teeth
But your hat attitude's gonna get you through
And keep you from feeling blue Monday

I used to love to be natural but now I’m looking for style
But I don’t know what to do with my hair
(She don’t know what to do with her hair)
I don’t know what I’m going do with my hair
So I’ll wear a hat for a while

Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed…
And underneath you can grit your teeth…
And keep you from feeling blue Monday

I used to love to be natural but now I’m looking for style
But I don’t know what to do with my hair
(She don’t know what to do with her hair)
I don’t know what I’m going do with my hair
So I’ll wear a hat for a while

Oh I went down town ‘bout a week ago and saw an old friend of mine
He had his hair down to his waist with a Nitty Gritty T-shirt on
Oh I used to love ’em natural but now I’m looking for style
But I don’t know what to do with my hair
(Don’t know what to do with her hair)
I don’t know what I’m going do with my hair
So I’ll wear a hat for a while

Put a hat on your head when you get out of bed
To keep you feeling Sunday
And underneath you can grit your teeth
’Cause your hat attitude's gonna get you through
And keep you from feeling blue Monday

I used to love to be natural but now I need some style
But I don’t know what to do with my hair
I don’t know what I’m going do with my hair
I’ll wear a hat for a while
