Big Brother & The Holding Company — Turtle Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Ah, IЂ™m a mean, mean woman,
I donЂ™t mean no one man, no good, no.
IЂ™m a mean, mean woman,
I donЂ™t mean no one man, no good.
I just treats Ђ™em like I wants to,
I never treats Ђ™em, honey like I should.
Oh, lord, I once had a daddy,
He said heЂ™d give me everything in sight.
Once had a daddy,
Said heЂ™d give me everything in sight.
Yes, he did.
So I said, honey, I want the sunshine,
You take the stars out of the night.
Come on and give Ђ™em to me, babe, Ђ™cause I want Ђ™em right now.
I ainЂ™t the kind of woman
WhoЂ™d make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
IЂ™m not the kind of woman, no,
To make your life a bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkinЂ™, honey,
WonЂ™t you invite me along, please.
Oh, IЂ™ll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
Whoa, go on!
I guess IЂ™m just like a turtle
ThatЂ™s hidinЂ™ underneath itЂ™s horny shell.
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
HidinЂ™ underneath itЂ™s hard-ass shell.
But you know IЂ™m very well protected Ўє
I know this goddamn life too well.
Oh! now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
IЂ™ve been called much worser things around,
Honey, donЂ™t ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
IЂ™ve been called much worser things, all things around,
Yeah, but IЂ™m gonna take good care of janis, yeah,
Honey, ainЂ™t no one gonna dog me down.
Alright, yeah.
