Wilson Phillips - Flesh And Blood Lyrics






If you never plan to come out of your shell, you're never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you don't know is what you're afraid of.
And I'm afraid of it too
But can I even talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend.
And there's a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.

[Chorus:]
How can we be like enemies when we're only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed, Daddy aren't we enough?
You can get through there's nothing stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact that we're only...flesh and blood
For years I've been following your case, It's the only time I see your face
And we've learned to live without you.
Who you don't know is who you're afraid of
And we're afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
There's a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.

[Chorus]

I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better.
I want to hear you sing beside me now.
We're just like you.

[Chorus]

I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh), and I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now
I'm a part of you, and I miss you.

A song for you, for only you.

Wilson Phillips Flesh And Blood Comments
  1. G.... L....

    If this video is getting more and more views by the day is because of me. I've been nostalgic for the past 3-4 weeks and been on a WP binge. I can still remember the first time I saw them on tv. Imagine, they were a fresh act in the 90's, they all sound good, they're all beautiful (given fact) and the way they sound as one (Wilson Phillips) is so unique that it captivated me at 14-16 yrs old.

  2. N.... ....

    I'm so glad Carnie and Wendy have reconciled with their father.

  3. n.... ....

    this song hits so close to home since i have a very complex relationship with father of mine

  4. Y.... v....

    Recognizable story..... acceptance and forgiveness have helped me to find inner peace. Feels good to be released of anger, shame, blame, sadness and desolation.
    Now I can listen to this beautiful song without feeling the pain I once knew.
    It's all right.....
    Wilson Phillips: Thanks for the song, Kari: Thanks for posting.

  5. B.... S....

    when I was a kid, I got this c.d. for christmas and this song I would listen to over and over. It reminds me of my dad.

  6. w.... ....

    What I like about this song is even though it's about Carnie and Wendy reaching out to their estranged father (at the time), you can hear their voices individually.

  7. J.... L....

    i feel this is how my youngest know his dad

  8. d.... D....

    i feel the song so bad i konw what it is not to konw you dad .

  9. I.... ....

    Ha,I barely know what to say to biological dad. My mom and he divorced when I was 3 and after getting remarried,and having my half brother and sister,my sister and I were forever trying to get in contact with him. It seemed I was always left behind. I feel like the black sheep and me at 38 learned at age 35 I suffered from Borderline Personality disorder. I love my parents,but I was once a child and you need to know I am still here and love you alot,but don't forget about me.

  10. D.... W....

    A paen to Brian Wilson; I defy you not to be moved by this song.

  11. j.... w....

    this song reminds me of my dad he was a big ass drunk but he gone now and i still love him

  12. c.... ....

    Luv WP I understand what this song is about my dad has always been in and out of the picture of mime and my siblings lifes and we've not been able 2 mend broken ties

  13. G.... S....

    I was in a bad place a few years ago, my ex girlfriend abused me mentally, physically and emotionally and that shattered me. I let myself go,my grades declined and i became a recluse. Like Brian i used to waddle aimlessly around the house, and that made my family especially my brother and sister depressed. They, along with my girlfriend have helped me get through my hardships and helped me pick up the pieces. I am now a better person and like Brian I've come out of my shell.
