9/1/08 "all i want"- joni mitchell


thanks joni. thanks for saying IT better than me.
thanks for saying it all so much better.

"I am on a lonely road and I am traveling,
travelling, traveling, traveling,
looking for something, what can it be.
oh i hate you some, i hate you some,
i love you some,
oh i love you when i forget about me.
i want to be strong, i want to laugh along,
i want to belong to the living.
alive, alive i want to get up and jive.
i want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive.
do you want-do you want-do you want
to dance with me baby?
do you want to take a chance
on maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby?
well,come on

all i really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and in you too
all i really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and in you
i want to talk to you, i want to shampoo you
i want to renew you again and again
applause, applause, life is our cause
when i think of our kisses
my mind sees saws
do you see? do you see? do you see
how you hurt me baby
so i hurt you too
then we both get so blue

i am on a lonely road and i am traveling
looking for the key to set me free
oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
it's the unraveling
and it undoes all the joy that could be
i want to have fun, i want to shine like the sun
i want to be the one that you want to see
i want to knit you a sweater
want to write you a love letter
i want to make you feel better
i want to make you feel free.
want to make you feel free,
i want to make you feel free."
