Honky Tonk Woman
Tina Turner · Other Songs - Tina Turner
He tried to take me upstairs for a ride
He had to leave me right across his shoulder
'cos I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Oooh
I'm a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk man
I laid a V.I.P in New York City
But I had to pull myself out of some kind of a fight
A bit later the man, he covered me with roses
Yeah
He blew my nose and then he blew my mind
Oooh
I'm a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me a honky tonk man
Oh give it to me now
(guitar solo)
Oooh
I'm a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me a honky tonk man
Oh
I'm a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me a honky tonk man
Yeah
