Off Night Backstreet Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Maybe I′m just kidding myself when I say I love you
I don't know
Loving without trusting, you get frostbite and sunstroke
I wish I felt nothing!
You pimp, laughing and strutting her to my chartered seat
Your old off night backstreet (backstreet)


It′s been stinger to stinger, darling
It's been heart-to-heart
You still keep me from finishing any new love I start
Now she's moved in with you
She′s keeping your house neat
And your sheets sweet
And I′m your off night backstreet (backstreet)

I can feel your fingers feeling my face
There are some lines you put there, and some you erase
Maybe I'm just dramatizing
I don′t care
It's home, it can be heaven when we play fair
But these sentimental journeys late at night
High in some back room, you′re calling me
To be your off night backstreet (backstreet)

You give me such pleasure
You bring me such pain
Who left her long black hair
In our bathtub drain?
