Lyrics Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin

Intruder

You come around here

Trying to make your demand.

You've got a need, darling,

I've seen it grow and expand.

Yeah, you want to reveal my life

With your own two hands.

Well, tell me now

What are you trying to do?

Those holes in your life

Show what you require.

You're needin' new eyes,

Oh Lord, honey take any wire?

Yeah you've gotta save us all

Before the next big fire.

Tell me now

What are you trying to do?

Walked in my life,

Child, and I don't even know your name.

You put others around behind ya

As if they were lame.

You insist a simple feeling

Will be all the same.

Well, tell me now

What are you trying to do?

Now I look like I'm suffering,

N-n-n-n-n-n-now I'm doing fine.

One look at yourself baby,

Child, I got you alive.

Yeah, you're gonna take care of yours,

I'll take care of mine.

What are you trying to do?

Hey!
