I called you up. You're not alone. Yes, I'm more than certain. You always pick up the phone. Well, there's something that's been going on for days. And I tried to look the other way. Now I can safely say That I've lost all faith in you. Because now it's clear and right in front of me. I'm glad it's now and not eventually. Here I am Outside your door. But I'm gonna go home and then I'll draw the curtains down. I'm gonna get over everything little thing that you said. I can't believe you did that. I could get over everything that you said, But I can't believe you did that. Well, I have changed more quickly there when I found it out. No one should be in the place that I'm standing now. But you'll always be this way. No lover of yours will ever stay, Then one day you'll wonder of my whereabouts. Because now it's clear and right in front of me. I'm glad it's now and not eventually. Here I am Outside your door. But I'm gonna go home and then I'll draw the curtains down. I'm gonna get over everything little thing that you said. I can't believe you did that. I could get over everything that you said, But I can't believe you did that. All of my friends, they say, maybe I should ignore you. They can't seem to understand Why I still adore you. Maybe it will take some time. I've been a fool for quite a while In following your other side, But getting out is getting wise. I'm gonna go home and then I'll draw the curtains down. I'm gonna get over everything little thing that you said. I can't believe you did that. I could get over everything that you said, But I can't believe you did that.

When I hear beautiful music All I think about it you. And I fear That beautiful music Will always leave a sadness in my heart. I want to call you up But you moved on. Now I just keep on playing all my favorite songs. When I heard That you had a new love-- Is she sweet like all our favorite summer songs? And when you hear those bells and strings-- Does it ever make you think That nothing was quite sweet like how this was? I want to call you up but you moved on. Now I just keep on playing All our favorite songs. Do you want to go So far away from here Where the sun rolls right behind the hills. Then we'll close our eyes To take it all away, Take it all away from me now. So when I hear beautiful music I may not always think of you.

Oh, if there's love left in your eyes I beg to show me now or never. And oh, if you needed some more time I'll tell you that I would wait forever. You've always been my saddest song and you never sang along. Your eyes are open—Why aren't mine? I only see you in my mind. And if care so much for me, I beg you darling set me free. And how my heart would heal someday—Not if you carry on this way. You’ve always been my saddest song and you never sang along. Your eyes are open—Why aren't mine? I only see you in my mind. I only see you in my mind.

about

Janet's new three-song EP on Loantaka Records, "I Only See You," reflects her musical diversity and inspirations. "I Can't Believe You Did That" is an airy lament that melds vintage pop sophistication with the Hawaiian lilt of her ukulele. "When I Hear (Beautiful Music)" displays the influence of her creative hero Brian Wilson – "He's the gold standard for me in terms of songwriting and production," says LaBelle – while her affection for modern French chanson informs her vocal delivery on the lovely number. The stark title track shows her affection for "minimalistic styles where you can make the most out of a little."
