I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono Lyrics - Singles - Dar Williams

I wonder if Yoko Ono 

Ever thought of staying solo 

If she thought of other men and 

If she doubted John Lennon 

Worrying that he'd distract her art 

Sitting in the apple sessions 

Giving John her music lessons 

Challenging the warring nations 

With her paper installations 

Did she guard her Yoko human heart 

Well, they could talk about me 

Yeah, they could talk about me 

Throw me to the velvet dogs of pop star history 

But I won't be your Yoko Ono 

If you're not good enough for me 

Some will give their love for fashion 

Others trade their gold for passion 

I don't have the goods to start with 

Never had the reins to part with 

Still, I hope you take me seriously 

'Cause I think I could go deep as the sea of Yoko 

You don't know a person like me, I could sell your songs to Nike 

And for all you know that I could save your soul 

As only true love can change your mind 

Making leave your screaming fans behind 

When John called the wind an Opera 

Making love with every Chakra 

When he said her voice would carry 

And when he whispered 'Old Chuck Berry' 

Only then would Yoko set him free 

Fame will come and vanish later 

Transcendental love is greater 

I think if we had this somehow 

We'd be feeling famous right now 

We'd be saying love is all you need 

And they could rag about me 

Yeah, they could rag about me 

Throw me to the velvet dogs of pop star history 

But I won't be your Yoko Ono 

If you're not good enough for me 

Oh, no, and I won't be your Yoko Ono 

If you're not good enough for me
