Dear Landlord (Album Version)

Dear Landlord - Janis Joplin

Dear Landlord

Please don't put a price on my soul

My burden is heavy dear

And my dreams are beyond my control

Oh yes they are

But when that steam-boat whistle blows

Oh honey I'm gonna give you everything I ever had to give yeah

And I do hope that you can receive it well

I know that it must be dependin' on the way you feel that you live

Whoa Landlord

Please heed these words that I try to speak

I know you must have suffered much

But honey you ain't alone you ain't so unique

No no no no no

All of us at times I said we might have worked too hard

Or too heavy too fast and way too rushed yeah

But everyone can fill their life with anything

You can look around but baby you just cannot touch

Whoa my Dear Landlord

Please don't you dismiss my case

I'm not about to argue with you

And honey I'll tell ya I'm ain't gonna move to no other place

'Cause I just ain't gonna do it no no no

Each of us must have their own special gift

Oh honey don't you know that it's got to be true

And if you don't underestimate me I'll tell you one thing

I said that I won't underestimate you no
