Lyrics

Well Im a mean, mean woman I dont need no one man for no good Said Im a mean, mean woman I dont need no one man, for no good I just treats em like I wants to I never treats em honey like I should Well I, I once had a daddy Said he'd give me everything in sight Once had a daddy, said he'd give me everything in sight... yes he did So I said, honey I want the sunshine And take the stars out of the night Im not the kind of woman To make your life the bed of ease Not the kind of woman To make your life the bed of ease But if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin honey Wont you invite me along please I guess Im just like a turtle Hidin underneath its hardened shell... whoa... whoooaaa yeah Just like a turtle, hidin underneath its hardened shell But you know Im very well protected I know this goddamn life too well WWHHHHOOOOAAAAA... Dont call me mean, you can call me evil... yeah yeah yeah Ive been called much worser things that, oh lord dont you know I have... whoooaa Call me mean or call me evil Ive been called much worser things oh things around Yeah but, Im gonna take good care of Janis, yeah! Honey aint no one gonna dog me down... yeaaah yeaahhh.
