In the Raw
Song by The Whispers

In the raw, in the raw
In the raw, in the raw
Don’t choose too fast
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover
Make sure that what you see is what you get
And read between the lines
Don’t place too much faith
In someone else’s reputation
Watch closely, they might be just a shadow
Of the person they’re supposed to be
Just can’t fake it
Gonna see what you’re made of
(In the raw)
I can’t change it
Everybody’s got their own way
In the raw
(In the raw)
In the raw
(In the raw)
Girl, you look at me
But only see what’s on the surface
And I might just be what you expect of me
There’s that possibility
Just strip away your thought
And only speak what’s on your mind
‘Cause whatever I tell you
You know it’s from the heart
And that’s the bottom line
Just can’t fake it
Gonna see what you’re made of
(In the raw)
I can’t change it
Everybody’s got their own way
In the raw
In the raw
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From what you really are inside
You never gain from tellin’ lies
The truth wears no disguise
That’s the only way to find out
Some try their luck at love for years
They waste their time and so many tears
To make sure love’s on solid ground
You’ve got to break it down
That’s the only way to find out, oh, oh, ooh
(In the raw)
So let’s break it down to the real thing
Girl, you look at me
But only see what’s on the surface
And I might just be what you expect of me
There’s that possibility
Just strip away your thought
And only speak what’s on your mind
‘Cause whatever I tell you
You know it’s from the heart
And that’s the bottom line
Just can’t fake it
Gonna see what you’re made of
(In the raw)
I can’t change it
Everybody’s got their own way, yeah, hey
I’ll show you just what I am made of, ooh
(In the raw)
Right from the heart
Is where I’m coming from, yeah, yeah
I can’t help it
(In the raw)
I can’t change it
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From what you really are inside
You never gain from tellin’ lies
The truth wears no disguise
(In the raw)
That’s the only way to find out
Some try their luck at love for years
They waste their time and so many tears
To make sure love’s on solid ground
You’ve got break it down
(In the raw)
That’s the only way to find out, oh, oh, ooh
I can’t fake it
Gonna see what you’re made of
(In the raw)
You can’t change it
Everybody’s got their own way, yeah, yeah

Out Here on My Own
Song by Irene Cara

Sometimes I wonder where I’ve been,
Who I am,
Do I fit in.
Make believein’ is hard alone,
Out here on my own.
We’re always provin’ who we are,
Always reachin’
For that risin’ star
To guide me far
And shine me home,
Out here on my own.
When I’m down and feelin’ blue,
I close my eyes so I can be with you.
Oh, baby be strong for me;
Baby belong to me.
Help me through.
Help me need you.
Until the morning sun appears
Making light
Of all my fears,
I dry the tears
I’ve never shown,
Out here on my own.
But when I’m down and feelin’ blue,
I close my eyes so I can be with you.
Oh, baby be strong for me;
Baby, belong to me.
Help me through.
Help me need you.
Sometimes I wonder where I’ve been,
Who I am,
Do I fit in.
I may not win,
But I can’t be thrown,
Out here on my own,
Out here on my own.

Send in the Clowns
Song by Judy Collins

Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air,
Where are the clowns?
Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move,
Where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns?
Just when I’d stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don’t you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don’t bother, they’re here
Isn’t it rich?
Isn’t it ?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year

Club Sheba through all the noise. 🎈😎

Sheba, nice you had some sun for your walk. I walked with a friend and we just finished when it started to drizzle. We should have light rain for the next few days. Watched Oppenheimer last night. Oh, all the smoking and drinking back in the day, wow.
Have a good evening!

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. Sunny and cool today, still have snow on the lawns.🌞🥶

Went to the hockey game yesterday afternoon. The game was boring and lost it in the last few minutes.😣 But there was a special ceremony to honor and retire the jersey of one of our great players from the 90’s. It was wonderful! Lots of videos, humor and sentimental memories. I could have watched that about five times instead of the game.😊👍

Not much else happening. Mom and sis should be in the Bahamas today.🛳🏝😎

Enjoy the afternoon with your husband and son. Sending love and hugs from me and Jake.🤗💖
