Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina, one of eight children. Like a number of other African-American singers, she was inspired as a child by Marian Anderson and began singing at her local church, also showing prodigious talent as a pianist. Her public debut, a piano recital, was made at the age of ten. Her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make way for some white people. This incident contributed to her later involvement in the civil rights movement.

Can’t Get Out Of This Mood Lyrics
Nina Simone
Jimmy machugh, loesser
All day long before my eyes come little visions of you,
They shouldnt, they mustnt, but they do.
Cant get out of this mood,
Cant get over this feeling,
Cant get out of this mood,
Last night your lips were appealing,
The thrill should have been all gone by today, in the usual way,
But its only your arms that Im out of.
Cant get out of this dream
What a fool to dream of you,
Twasnt part of my scheme to sigh and tell you that I love you,
But now Im saying it, Im playing it dumb,
Cant get out of this mood,
Heartbreak here I come.
I cant get over this feeling,
Last night your lips were appealing,
The thrill should have been all gone by today, in the usual way,
But its only your arms that Im out of.
What a fool to dream of you,
To sigh and tell you that I love you,
But now Im playing it, now Im playing it dumb,
I cant get out of this mood,
Heartbreak, heartbreak here I come.
