Joni Mitchell - The Same Situation lyrics

Again and again the same situation<br>For so many years<br>Tethered to a ringing telephone<br>In a room full ot mirrors<br>A pretty girl in your bathroom<br>Checking out her sex appeal<br>I asked myself when you said you loved me<br>Do you think this can be real? <br><br>Still I sent up my prayer<br>Wondering where it had to go<br>With heaven full of astronauts<br>And the lord on death row<br>While the millions of his lost and lonely ones<br>Cali out and clamour to be found<br>Caught in their struggle for higher positions<br>And their search for love that sticks around<br><br>You've had lots of lovely women<br>Now you turn your gaze to me<br>Weighing the beauty and the imperfection<br>To see if I'm worthy<br>Like the church<br>Like a cop<br>Like a mother<br>You want me to be truthful<br>Sometimes you turn it on me like a weapon though<br>And I need your approval<br><br>Still I sent up my prayer<br>Wondering who was there to hear<br>I said send me somebody<br>Who's strong, and somewhat sincere<br>With the millions of the lost and lonely ones<br>I called out to be released<br>Caught in my struggle for higher achievements<br>And my search for love<br>That don't seem to cease
