Directions Lyrics - Carole King

They tell me 

When I've got my life on my mind 

They're sorry 

But they can't do a thing about it till tomorrow 

I tell them 

Now I don't want a lot of your time 

Maybe they listen 

Oh, but what do they know of my pain and my sorrow 

Oooh, what will it cost you 

After how many tears I've cried 

How much longer must I try

Directions presenting themselves every day 

Are bypassed 

'Cause of somebody else's foolish limitations 

Rejections - many have I had in my way 

But I go on, yes, I do now, and try to overcome the bad vibrations 

Oooh, what does it get you 

Stealing somebody else's pride 

How much longer must I cry 

I can see all the things of which I've dreamed 

If I dream any longer-what will it mean 

Photos 

Reflections 

Of all I have wanted so long 

Still are with me 

As I ask myself how much longer must I try
