Honey, I'm a mean...
Are you know there's supposed to go
like from the E to A, in the first line?
Take 4.
Honey, I'm a mean, mean woman,
I don't mean no one man, no good, yea.
Baby, I'm a mean, mean woman,
I don't mean no one man, no good.
Ya know, I just treats 'em like I wants to,
I never treats 'em, honey like I should.
Well, I once had a daddy,
He said he'd give me everything in sight.
Well, I once had a daddy,
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
So I just said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
You take the stars out of the night.
Come on and give 'em to me, babe"
I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I'm not the kind of woman, no,
Who make your life a bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just want to go out drinkin', honey,
Won't you invite me along, please?
Oh, I'll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
Alright, yeah!
I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its horny shell.
Yes, I do
Well, I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath its hard-ass shell.
But you know I'm very well protected
I know this goddamn life too well.
Oh, yes, I do
Alright
Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me, daddy
Honey, I've been called much worser things around,
Honey, don't ya know I have?
Whoa, call me mean or call me devil
I've been called much, much, much
Much worser things around,
Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ain't no one gonna dog me down.
Alright, yeah.
