Janis Joplin – Mercedes Benz Lyrics
Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends.
So oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Oh lord won’t you buy me a color TV.
Dialing for Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until 3.
So oh lord won’t you buy me a color TV.
Oh lord won’t you buy me a night on the town.
I’m counting on you...

Janis Joplin – Ball And Chain Lyrics
S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, Lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! Hey! You know what I mean,
But it’s way too heavy for you,
You can’t hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it can’t be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please,...
Janis Joplin – Move Over Lyrics
You say that it’s over baby, Lord,
You say that it’s over dear,
But still you hang around me, come on,
Won’t you move over.
You know that I need a man, honey,
You know that I need a man,
But when I ask you to you just say
That you think you can.
Please don’tcha do it to me babe, no!
Please don’tcha do it to me baby,
Either take the love I offer
Or let me be.
I ain’t quite a ready for walking, no!

Janis Joplin – Bye, Bye Baby Lyrics
Bye, bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
I gotta be seeing you around
When I change my living standard and I move uptown,
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
So long, my honey, so long.
Too bad you had to drift away
‘Cause I could use some company
Right here on this road, on this road I’m on today.
I get the feeling I could chase you clean on in the ball
And wind up staying pull off, put down strung out and stalled.
Honey, I ain’t got time to wait on you...
Janis Joplin – Get It While You Can Lyrics
In this world, if you read the papers, darling,
You know everybody’s fighting with each other.
You got no one you can count on, dear,
Not even your own brother.
So if someone comes along,
He gonna give you love and affection,
I’d say get it while you can, yeah,
Honey, get it while you can, yeah,
Honey, grab it while you can,
Don’t you turn your back on love, no, no, no.
When you’re loving somebody, baby,
You’re taking...

Janis Joplin – Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin’ fer a train
When I’s feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I’s playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time I’s, holding Bobby’s hand in mine and
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom’s just another word...
Janis Joplin – Cry Baby Lyrics
Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.
I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.
Don’t you know, honey,
Ain’t nobody ever gonna...

This is a song called Try (Just a Little Bit Harder) you know you’d better baby and you know you got to
Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
Well, I’m gonna try, just a little bit harder
So I can’t give, give, give, give him to nobody else.

I ain’t gonna lose myself
(No, I ain’t gonna lose it)
I ain’t gonna lose myself
