(Theme From) The Valley Of The Dolls Lyrics
Dionne Warwick
Lyrics
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did i get, where did i
How was i caught in this game
When will i know, where will i
How will i think of my name
When did i stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am i here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Off of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where i'm bound
When did i get, where did i
Why am i lost as a lamb
When will i know, where will i
How will i learn who i am
Is this a dream, am i here, where are you
Tell me, when will i know, how will i know
When will i know why?
When will i know why...
