Lyrics:

(janis joplin)
Producer for bonnie: desmond child

Im a mean, mean woman
I dont mean no one man no good
Im a mean, mean woman
I dont mean no one man no good
I just treats em like i wants to
Never ever treats em honey, like i should

Oh lord i once had a daddy
He said hed give me everything in sight
Once had a daddy
Said hed give me everything in sight
I said hon, i want the sunshine
And take the stars out of the night

I aint the kind of woman
Whod make your life a bed of ease
Im not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
Yeah, but if you just wanna go out drinkin, honey
Invite me along please

I guess im just like a turtle
Hidin underneath his horny shell
Just like a turtle
Hidin underneath his horny shell
But you know im very well protected
I know this doggone life too well

Oh, they call me mean, people call me evil
Im not the kind of woman you can mess around
They call me mean, people call me evil
Im not the kind of woman you can mess around
But im gonna take good care of bonnie, yeah
There aint no one gonna talk me down...
