Valley Of The Dolls Lyrics

Artist: Dionne Warwick

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride

When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name

When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry

Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound

When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am

Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?

by birdhead on 6/9/2009 7:35pm boy is this a tearjerker of a song..love it and now that Nurse Jackie on Showtime Theme Song.
by mac on 7/25/2009 9:15pm !5th line should be : gotta get ON It's about pill abuse
by Rich on 10/20/2009 10:36pm Wow, yes, tearjerker, in touch with the dark side of the 50s-60s: pill abuse...Wasn't there some suicide in the story too? "Dolls" was a word for barbiturates, wasn't it? The cover of the grocery store paperback had images of drug capsules scattered on the cover...certainly the song sounds like the singer was quite depressed...substance induced, most likely...very frightening and sad...I used to cry when I listened to an 8-track recording of DW singing it. I was 7 y/o Cub Scout...whew...
