Interview Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon/Don Was) 

A sweet young man sat on my chair 

With a tape machine and a face of fear 

He asked how does it feel to be who you are 

I thought, this boy really thinks I'm a star 

I answered him with humility 

And then asked him if he'd like some tea 

Interview, who's interviewing who 

Are you interviewing me 

Or am I interviewing you

He asked if the rug was some ancient, lovely thing 

I lied and said 'Yes a gift from a king' 

I watched his arms and how his lips moved 

He asked me if my parents approved 

He asked to see my Ruby ring 

And if as a child I had liked to sing 

Interview, who's interviewing who 

Are you interviewing me 

Or am I interviewing you 

I said yes, Oh yes 400 times 

'You've so open'he said 'So you always tell the truth?' 

'Never,'I said, 'That's that?'

But how would it feel to hold me in your arms 

You could get to know me down on the farm 

Then you could see me as the child I've become 

'Cause being grown up can be so lonesome 

Baby, how would it feel to hold me now 

Baby, how would it feel to hold me now 

Interview, who's interviewing who 

Are you interviewing me 

Or am i interviewing you
