Flesh and Blood Songtext
von Wilson Phillips

If you never plan to come out of your shell
You′re never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you don't know is what you′re afraid of.
And I'm afraid of it too
But can I even talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up
And talk to you like a friend.
And there's a part of me that wants to shut you out

And never see your face again.


How can we be like enemies
When we′re only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed
Daddy aren′t we enough?
You can get through there's nothing
Stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact
That we′re only... flesh and blood
For years I've been following your case
It′s the only time I see your face
And we've learned to live without you.
Who you don′t know is who you're afraid of

And we're afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
There′s this part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.

How can we be like enemies
When we′re only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed
Daddy aren't we enough?
You can get through there′s nothing
Stopping you from getting to us
Nothing can take a way the fact
That we're only... flesh and blood.
I want to make you laugh
And I want a chance to know you better.

I want to hear you sing beside me now.
We′re just like you.
How can we be like enemies
When we're only flesh and blood?


What does it take to make your heart bleed
Daddy aren′t we enough?
You can get through there's nothing
Stopping you from getting to us

No one can take a way the fact
That we're only... flesh and blood
For years I′ve been following your case
It′s the only time I see your face
And we've learned to live without you.
Who you don′t know is who you're afraid of
And we′re afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?

I want to make you laugh
I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh)
And I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now
I'm a part of you, and I miss you.
A song for you, for only you.
