Face Lift Lyrics - Taming The Tiger - Joni Mitchell

I went so numb on Christmas day 

I couldn't feel my hands or feet 

I shouldn't have come 

She made me pay 

For gleaming with Donald down her street 

She put blame on him 

And shame on me 

She made it all seem so tawdry and cheap 

"Oh, let's be nice, Mama, open up your gifts 

You know, happiness is the best facelift"

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I mean, after all, she introduced us 

Oh, but she regrets that now 

Shacked up downtown 

Making love without a license 

Same old sacred cow 

She said, "Did you come home to disgrace us?" 

I said, "Why is this joy not allowed? 

For God's sake, I'm middle-aged, Mama 

And time moves swift 

And you know happiness is the best facelift" 

Oh, love takes so much courage 

Love takes so much shit 

He said "You've seen too many movies, Joni" 

She said "Snap out of it!" 

Oh, the cold winds blew at our room with a view 

All helpful and hopeful and candlelit 

We kissed the angels and the moon eclipsed 

You know, Happiness is the best facelift

We pushed the bed up to the window 

To see the Christmas lights 

On the east bank across the steaming river 

Between the bridges lit up Paris-like 

This river has run through both our lives 

Between these banks of our continuing delights 

Bless us, don't let us lose the drift 

You know, Happiness is the best facelift.
