Joni Mitchell - Woman Of Heart And Mind lyrics

I am a woman of heart and mind With time on her hands No child to raise You come to me like a little boy And i give you my scorn and my praise You think i'm like your mother Or another lover or your sister Or the queen of our dreams Or just another silly girl When love makes a fool of me After the rush when you come back down You're always disappointed Nothing seems to keep you high Drive your bargains Push your papers Win your medals f** your strangers Don't it leave you on the empty side I'm looking for affection and respect A little pa**ion And you want stimulation-nothing more That's what i think But you know i'll try to be there for you When your spirits start to sink All this talk about holiness now It must be the start of the latest style Is it all books and words Or do you really feel it? Do you really laugh? Do you really care? Do you really smile When you smile? You criticize and you flatter You imitate the best And the rest you memorize You know the times you impress me most Are the times when you don't try When you don't even try
