Joni Mitchell Woman Of Heart And Mind Lyrics

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 your 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
Fuck your strangers
Don't
it leave you on the empty side
I'm looking for affection and respect
A
little passion
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
