Turtle Blues

Janis Joplin

Ah, I’m a mean, mean woman
And I don’t mean no one man, no good, no.
I’m a mean, mean woman,
I don’t mean no one man, no good.
I just treats ’em like I wants to
I never treats ’em, honey like I should.

I once had a daddy,
he said he’d give me everything in sight.
once had a daddy,
said he’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.

I ain’t the kind of woman
who’d make your life a bed of ease
I’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 drinkin’, honey,
won’t you invite me along please.
oh, I’ll be so good

I guess I’m just like a turtle
hidin’ underneath its hardened shell.
whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
hidin’ underneath its hardened shell.
but you know I’m very well protected –
I know this goddamn life too well.

oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
I’ve been called much of some things around,
call me mean or call me evil
I’ve been called much of some things, all things around,
yeah, but I’m gonna take good care of Jenn, yeah,
nothing’s going to dog me down
