East From West Lyrics - Singles - Xanthe Littlemore

V1) Blood is thicker than tears but hey, you don't have to be perfect just be your best 

I'm am someone's daughter, made of earth and clay yet like the angels, nothing less 

And in this one act tragic comedy 

I've got to find myself a way to get myself free 

CH) I don't need no one to tell me east from west 

I don't ever wanna settle for the second best 

V2) 'Cause every time I turned around there was someone's disapproving frown inside the door 

So I decided to live for myself, 'cause in the end nobody came worth living for 

Because the fullest fields can feed a lot 

But I could never give what I never got 

CH) I don't need no one to tell me east from west 

I don't ever wanna settle for the second best 

Bridge) Don't need nobody givin' me that good advice 

Just a little tenderness would be so nice 

As we watch the sun rise 

V3) So I thanked them for helping me, I thanked them for I could see the false from real 

The time had come, the bags were packed, the lines were cast and we were finally setting sail 

I've got to hold on to these dreams I've found 

'Cause they're the only thing that are keeping me above the ground 

CH) I don't need no one to tell me east from west 

I don't ever wanna settle for the second best
