Turtle Blues Songtext
von Bonnie Tyler

This one′s for you, Janis
Ahh

Oh, I'm a mean, mean woman
I don′t need no one man, no good
No, I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't need no one man, no good
I just treats ′em like I wants to
Never, ever treats ′em, honey, like I should

Lord, I once had a daddy
He said he'd give me everything in sight
Woah, I once had a daddy
Said he′d give me everything in sight
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, I said, "I, I want the sunshine
And take the stars out of the night"
Now, come on, give 'em to me, babe
I want ′em right now


I ain't the kind of woman
Who′d make your life a bed of ease
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
Yeah, but if you, you just wanna go out drinkin', honey
Invite me along, please
Oh, yeah, I′d be so good for you, honey

Oh, yeah
I guess I′m just like a turtle
That's hidin′ underneath his horny shell
Oh, oh, woah, just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath his horny shell
But, you know, I′m very well protected
I know this doggone life too well, oh

Oh, they call me mean, people call me evil
I'm not the kind of woman you can mess around
Oh, they call me mean, they call me evil
Not the kind of woman you can mess around
Yeah, but I′m gonna take good care of Bonnie, yeah
There ain't no one gonna talk me down
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
