The Ron Hicklin Singers were a group of Los Angeles studio singers contracted and organized by Ron Hicklin. They are most famously known as the real singers behind the background vocals on The Partridge Family recordings.
In Los Angeles studio circles in the 1960s through 1980s, they were the vocal equivalent of (and often worked with) The Wrecking Crew, performing backup vocals on thousands of songs, TV and movie themes, and as lead – yet anonymous – singers on thousands of radio and television commercials.

I wish I could wake up,
This would all be over,
but I have to face the things I'e done
I'm sick of running out of excuses
Chorus:
my excuses
hae become something I'm not
something I've fought
so all these lies have torn me apart
but now i see so much more of me
and how i let you come undone
come undone
I want you to know
I'm giving up this time around
I know it doesn't build your trust with me
(chorus)
I know it will take some time to heal
from what I've done
I'm sorry I let you down
but I'm human, only human, yea we're human
and sometimes we become something we're not
something we've fought
all these lies have torn us apart
but now i see so much more than me and how
I let you come undone
