Woman Of Heart And Mind - Joni Mitchell
Tuning: , E A D G B E
I am a woman o
f heart and mi
nd
With time on h
er hands
No child to ra
ise
You come to me
like a little
boy
And I give you
my scorn and
my praise
You think I'm
like your moth
er
Or another lov
er or your sis
ter
Or the queen o
f your dreams
Or just anothe
r silly girl
When love make
s a fool of me
After the rush
when you come
back down
You're always
disappointed
Nothing seems
to keep you hi
gh
Drive your bar
gains
Push your papers
Win your medal
s
Fuck your stra
ngers
Don't it leave
you on the em
pty side
I'm looking fo
r affection an
d respect
A little passi
on
And you want s
timulation-not
hing more
That's what I
think
But you know I
'll try to be
there for you
When your spir
its start to s
ink
All this talk
about holiness
now
It must be the
start of the
latest style
Is it all book
s and words
Or do you real
ly feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?
Do you really
smile
When you smile?
You criticize
and you flatte
r
You imitate th
e best
And the rest y
ou memorize
You know the t
imes you impre
ss me most
Are the times
when you don't
try
When you don't
even try
