Work Me Lord by Janis Joplin

I never really understood the hype about Janis Joplin until I heard "Work Me, Lord" a few years ago. You can feel her pain and frustration- its so hard to listen to. Hey lyrics are always simple and about her struggle finding someone to truly love her...and she never found him before her tragic heroin overdose. It makes the song even more haunting and heartbreaking. PLEASE listen to it. Listen to her.

Well I don't think I'm any very special

Kind of person down here, I know better,
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
The worst you can say all about me
Is that I'm never satisfied

Honey, don't you go off and leave me, Lord.
Can't I show you how hard it is
Trying to live when you're all alone.
Everyday I keep pushing,
Keep trying to move forward
But something is driving me, oh, back,
And something's trying to hold on to me,
To my way of life, why.
