Janis Joplin — Dear Landlord

[Verse] 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 going to 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 depending 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 aren'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 you, I'm not going to move to no other place Because I'm just not going to do it, no, no, no [Outro] Each of us has his 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!
