Joni Lyrics

I knew a wild woman, she threw a party on her grave
She went there tapping her cane and sipping champagne
She′s a wild woman, and she makes me feel so tame
I can take her in a foot race, but I can't take her anywhere
She laughs at all the pop stars, and she doesn′t even care if they hear her
She's a game of solitaire

Tell 'em that story one more time, Joan, I won′t look away
Let me leave you in laughter, let me go get you a plate
When I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"
I know you believe me, and that′s love in your way

The curse of a wild woman is that she doesn't suffer fools
She won′t make cups of tea, and she doesn't bandage bruised egos
Or superficial wounds
But once I was sat beside her, when a fog rolled on the land
She spoke in sacred language every soul could understand
And with a broken body, many were healed by her hand

Let′s go dancing, you can lean on me, Joan, I won't even sway
I′ll find you a five-dollar blackjack table, make some dealer's day
And when I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"
I know you believe me, and that's love in your way

She′s a wild woman
She′s a wild, wild woman

I knew a wild woman
Touched by a wild woman
Believed by a wild woman
To be known, known by a wild woman
A wild, wild, wild woman
