Janis Joplin Kozmic Blues


Time keeps moving on
Friends - they turn away
I keep moving on
But I never found out why
I keep pushing so hard the dream
I keep trying to make it right
Through another lonely day...

Dawn has come at last
Twenty-five years, and just one night...
But I'm twenty-five years old now
So I know it can't be right
But I know better, babe
And I can't help you no more
Than I did when just a gel

But it don't make no difference, babe
And I know that I could always try
It don't make no difference, babe
I better hold it now
I better need it yeah
I better use it till the day I die...

Don't expect any answers, dear
Ah, I know that they don't come with age
But they ain't never gonna love you any better, babe
And they never gonna love you right
So you'd better take it now, right now

Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe
And I know that I could always try
But there's a frightened side of everyone of us
You'd better need it now
I got to hold it, yeah
I better use it till the day I die

Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no
And it never ever will,
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah
I got to hold it, baby
I'm gonna need it now
I'm gonna use it, say, aaaah

But it don't make no difference, babe
Oh how I hate to be the one
I said you better live your life
And you better love your life
Someday, someday you're gonna have to cry
Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed,
Ah, baby, yes indeed.

I said they're always gonna hurt you
They're always gonna let you down
I said everywhere, everyday, everyday
And every way, every way
Ah why do you hold on to what's gonna move
I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back
I said you know it ain't gonna be there
When you wanna reach out and grab on..
