  • Oh, ah
    Oh, ah, yeah
    Oh, ah
    Oh, ah, ah
    Oh, ah-ah
    Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah, yeah

    Ah, oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

    I am bottled fizzy water
    And you are shaking me up
    You are a fingernail running down
    The chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
    Now my only consolation
    Is that this could not last forever
    Even though you're singing and thinking
    How well you've got it made

    Who are you?
    When will you be through
    Yeah, it's just a phase
    It will be over soon
    Yeah, it's just a phase
    Yeah, it's just a
    Phase

    Call it women's intuition
    But I think I'm on to something here
    Temporaryism has been the Black Plague
    And the Jesus of our age
    I know that I sound opinionated
    Maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
    But sooner than later they'll be throwing
    Quarters at you on stage

    Who are you?
    When will you be through
    Yeah, it's just a phase
    It will be over soon
    Yeah, it's just a
    Phase, and I'm waiting for it to be over, too

    Yeah, oh-oh
    Yeah, oh-oh
    Yeah, oh-oh
    Yeah, oh-oh
    Yeah, oh-oh
    Yeah, oh-oh

  • Ashley from Moncton, CanadaThis has gotta be my favourite song off Morning View. I used to have it as the CD my clock radio played in the morning, and it always got me in a good mood for the day.
  • Bruce Whitehill from Ny, NyThe Fleetwoods' 1959 "Come Softly to Me" has been my number 1 song for 45 years!
