Circa 1970
Rather than "I wanna hold your hand", I wanna swallow you whole
An' I wanna lick you everywhere it's pink in every way you think
Rather than "I wanna hold your hand", I wanna swallow you whole
An' I wanna lick you everywhere it's pink in every way you think
Whole kit an' kaboodle an' the kitchen sink
Whole kit an' kaboodle an' the kitchen sink
Heaven's sexy as hell, life is integrated
Goes together so well, an' so on
Well, I'm-a go on an' do my washin'
Well, now you may think I'm crazy, but I want you to lick my decals off, baby
An' I don't want you to be lazy, 'cause it's drivin' me crazy
An' this song ain't no sing-song, it's all about the birds an' the bees
An' where it went all went wrong, an' where it all belong
An' the earth all goes down on their knees, lookin' for a little ease
She stuck out her toungue an' the fun begun
She stuck out her toungue an' the fun begun
She stuck it out at me, an' I just thumbed my nose
An' went on washing my clothes
Amsterdam, circa June 2004
Tie yourself to me, no one else,
No, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me
Night and day I breathe, hey, hey, you're not rid of me
No, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me, no you're not rid of me
I beg you, my darling, don't leave me, 'cause I'm hurting
Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
I'll tie your legs, and keep you against my chest
Oh, you're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries, I'm gonna twist your head off, see
'Til you say don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her?
I beg you, my darling, don't leave me, 'cause I'm hurting
Been lonely, above everything, above everyday, I'm hurting
Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
You're not rid of me, no, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries, I'm gonna twist your head off, see
'Til you say don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you--
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
Lick my legs of desire
Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash, Laurel Canyon, L.A., circa 1969
Circa 1972
I scare myself, just thinking about you
I scare myself, when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself, when I let my thoughts run
And when they're runnin' (runnin', runnin', runnin'), I keep thinking of you, you
When they're runnin' (runnin', runnin', runnin'), what can I do?
I scare myself, and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself, it can get frightenin'
I scare myself, to think what I could do
I scare myself, it's some kinda voodoo
And with that voodoo (runnin', runnin', runnin'), I keep thinkin' of you, you
With that voodoo (runnin', runnin', runnin'), what can I do?
(It's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin', it's me that's runnin')
But it's oh so, so, so different when we're together
And I'm oh so, so much calmer, I feel better (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)
For the stars have crossed our paths forever (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)
And the sooner that you realize it, the better (it's me that's better, it's me that's better)
Then I'll be with you, and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do, and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you, and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts'll run, and I won't scare myself (runnin', runnin', runnin')
[Violin cadenza]
Then I'll be with you, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And I'll know what to do, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And I'll think of you, and I won't scare myself (myself)
And my thoughts will run, and I won't scare myself...
