Howl Lyrics by Carly Simon
My dear extremely forlorn friend
I hear your love has stormed out the door
What a random act, but here’s the fact
All is fair in love and war
Well, you win some, and you lose some
But philosophy won’t help you now
So get it out of, of your system
Bang your fists and beat your brow
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
Call love a liar
No need to claim the upper hand
Just tip your hat to the master plan
Go on out and get them back
Use all your tricks any way you can
‘Cause you win some, and yeah, you lose some
But philosophy won’t help you now
So get it out of your system
Bang your fists and beat your brow
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
Call love a liar
Before you start acting polite
Sayin’ everything’s all right
You gotta scream like a furious child
Before you mend all your fences
Build up your defenses
You got to go just a little bit wild
You’ve got to swoon like a diva
Just burn all the letters
Where he swore he’d never leave you
Burn his promises and leave that liar
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
Howl like the wind, roar like the river
Wail like the rain, cry, shout, and shiver
Shake like a dog, hiss like a fire
Scratch out the moon, call love a liar
