Turtle Blues

Well Im a mean, mean woman

I dont need no one man for no good

Said Im a mean, mean woman

I dont need no one man, for no good

I just treats em like I wants to

I never treats em honey like I should



Well I, I once had a daddy

Said he'd give me everything in sight

Once had a daddy, said he'd give me everything in sight...yes he did

So I said, honey I want the sunshine

And take the stars out of the night



Im not the kind of woman

To make your life the bed of ease

Not the kind of woman

To make your life the bed of ease

But if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin honey

Wont you invite me along please



I guess Im just like a turtle

Hidin underneath its hardened shell.....whoa....whoooaaa yeah

Just like a turtle, hidin underneath its hardened shell

But you know Im very well protected

I know this goddamn life to well



WWHHHHOOOOAAAAA.....



Dont call me mean, you can call me evil...yeah yeah yeah

Ive been called much worser things that, oh lord dont you know I have...whoooaa

Call me mean or call me evil

Ive been called much worser things oh things around

Yeah but, Im gonna take good care of Janis, yeah!

Honey aint no one gonna dog me down....yeaaah yeaahhh.
