Cheap Thrills
Turtle Blues
Ah, Iâm a mean, mean woman
And I donât mean no one man, no good, no.
Iâm a mean, mean woman,
I donât mean no one man, no good.
I just treats âem like I wants to
I never treats âem, honey like I should.
Oh, Lord, I once had a daddy,
He said heâd give me everything in sight.
Once had a daddy,
Said heâd give me everything in sight.
Yes, he did
So I said, âHoney, I want the sunshine,
you take the stars out of the night.
Come on and give âem to me, babe, âcause I want âem right now.â
I ainât the kind of woman
Whoâd make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Iâm not the kind of woman, no,
To make your life a bed of ease.
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkinâ, honey,
Wonât you invite me along please.
Oh, Iâll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
Whoa, go on!
I guess Iâm just like a turtle
Thatâs hidinâ underneath its horny shell.
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidinâ underneath its horny shell.
But you know Iâm very well protected â
I know this goddamn life too well.
Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
Iâve been called much of some things around,
Honey, donât ya know I have!
Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
Iâve been called much of some things, all things around,
Yeah, but Iâm gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ainât no one gonna dog me down.
Alright, yeah.
