Joni Mitchell - Woman Of Heart & Mind lyrics

I am a woman of heart and mind<br>With time on her hands<br>No child to raise<br>You come to me like a little boy<br>And I give you my scorn and my praise<br>You think I'm like your mother<br>Or another lover or your sister<br>Or the queen of our dreams<br>Or just another silly girl<br>When love makes a fool of me<br><br>After the rush when you come back down<br>You're always disappointed<br>Nothing seems to keep you high<br>Drive your bargains<br>Push your papers<br>Win your medals<br>Fuck your strangers<br>Don't it leave you on the empty side<br>I'm looking for affection and respect<br>A little passion<br>And you want stimulation-nothing more<br>That's what I think<br>But you know I'll try to be there for you<br>When your spirits start to sink<br><br>All this talk about holiness now<br>It must be the start of the latest style<br>Is it all books and words<br>Or do you really feel it? <br>Do you really laugh? <br>Do you really care? <br>Do you really smile<br>When you smile? <br>You criticize and you flatter<br>You imitate the best<br>And the rest you memorize<br>You know the times you impress me most<br>Are the times when you don't try<br>When you don't even try
