Turtle Blues

Oh Lord, I once had a daddy
He said he'd give me everything in sight,
So I said "Honey, I want the sunshine
I'll take the stars out of the night
Come on and give it to me, babe
Honey, I want it right now!

I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease
No, I'm not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
But if you just want to out drinkin', honey
Won't you invite me along, please
Oh I'd be so good to you, babe

I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hiding underneath its horny shell
Yeah, like a turtle
Hiding underneath its horny shell
But you know I'm very well protected
I know this Goddamned life too well

People call me mean, you can call me evil
I been called much worse things around
Oh honey, don't you know her
Call me mean, call me evil
I been called much worse things
But I'm gonna take good care of Janis
No one gonna talk me down
