In My Room
Wilson Phillips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room




In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
