Janis Joplin - Dear Landlord Lyrics
Dear landlordPlease dont put a price on my soul.My burden is heavy, dear,And my dreams are beyond my control,Oh yes, they are.But when that steam-boat whistle blows,Oh, honey Im gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah,And I do hope that you can receive it well,I know that it must be dependin on the way you feel that you live.Whoa, landlord,Please heed these words that I try to speak.I know you must have suffered much,But honey you aint alone, you aint so unique.No no no, no, no.All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hardOr too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah!But everyone can fill their life with anythingYou can look around, but baby you just cannot touch.Whoa, my dear landlord,Please dont you dismiss my case.Im not about to argue with you,And honey Ill tell ya, Im aint gonna move to no other place.cause I just aint gonna do it, no, no, no.Each of us must have their own special gift,Oh honey, dont you know that its got to be trueAnd if you dont underestimate me, Ill tell you one thing,I said that I wont underestimate you, no!
