Janis Joplin Box Of Pearls Lyrics
1.It's A Deal

Wooh!!
She's my baby, i'll tell you
Just exactly what i used to do
I will leave just to leave you alone
Baby, baby, when i go home.

Well love you baby i don't think i will
Say the words but the bells go still
It's true, baby, that i want you to stay
But if that remains you got to pay your will,
Pay your will, yeah yeah yeah.

Well, i made you cry, hang your head,
Life here was just smart and vain
With your guys, baby, and you've gotta see
When you're alone you want to make a deal.

Well now love you baby i don't think i will
Say the words but the bells go still
It's true, baby, that i want you to stay
But if that remains you got to pay your will,
Pay your will, yeah! wooh wooh!!

I wouldn't hurt but you can feel
I'm leaving withdrawn you say it's a deal
You may see inside my head,
I love you, baby, but you're far away.

Well now, love you baby i don't think i will
Say the words but the bells go still
It's true, baby, that i want you to stay
But if that remains you got to pay your will,
Pay your will, yeah yeah yeah.

Pay your will, now yeah yeah
Pay your will, yeah,
Oh yeah, woohh!


2.Crazy Once You Know How

Oh well it's much too early, not right now,
How can i love you when i, i don't know how,
I don't know how, i don't know how ?

How can i trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? it's hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.

It's hard to understand what's really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.

Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.

Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ah.

You say you need me, baby, as you breathe the words,
That's time for you to leave, oh no!
Time to leave, time to leave.

Oh please, don't push me, baby, i might learn how to play your
game,
Now it's your turn,
It's your turn, it's your turn.

I'd love to love you now till i'll be sure
That this time your love won't hurt me more,
Hurt me more, hurt me more, oh, come on!

I think i'll go now, yeah you're always gonna break me my heart,
And i see i gotta go now, honey i just wanna say

Oh you're breaking my heart right now baby,
Oh you're breaking my heart now now now,
Now i don't wanna hurt you, no no no no,
And i don't wanna hold you, yeah!
I need a twenty-four hour man,
So when you love me all night long
I need a twenty-four hour man,
Honey, where are you ?

But doesn't really matter when i need you so
It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no.
It doesn't really matter, babe i got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love,
I just love to love you, ah ooh!


3.Maybe

Alright, alright! this is an old rock & roll tune, it was done
by the chantells in the 50s, a song called maybe

Maybe
Oh if i could pray and i try, dear,
You might come back home, home to me.

Honey, maybe
Whoa, if i could ever hold your hand
Ooh you just might understand.
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
I guess i might have done something wrong,
Honey i'd be glad to admit it.
Oh, come back home to me!
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe yeah.

Well i know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, babe,
Oh honey, when i go out or what i'm trying to do,
'cause i'm still left here
Holding on in needing you.

Please, please, please, please,
Oh won't you reconsider babe.
Come on, i said come back,
Won't you come back to me!

Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe dear,
Let me help you show me how.
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.
Ooh!

6.Interview After London Royal Albert Hall Concert

God, is that exciting, man! nobody, nobody ever, anybody ever
thought it would be that good! i didn't. nobody else did. nobody
ever thought it would be i mean that good, that was, that was
more
Than any other good. man, if you can say, well it's gonna be as
good as this concert, but it's better than any fuckin' ever
got u
.

No one's ever got up and danced and dug it. no one's ever done
anything there and they did it, man! they fuckin' got up and
grooved, and then they listened. that was dynamite. you know you
could
When they're really being selfish and they just wanna dance, but
they worked, man, and when i'd do a soft song everybody'd shut
up! that's too much, man. that's really too fuckin' much.

They expect you to work hard.

God, god! god! god i was so happy! whew-ew!! think i'll call my
mother, man. d'you know, mom, i got 'em all off their ass! hey
what's that, man ?
