The Same Situation Lyrics - Court And Spark - Joni Mitchell

Again and again the same situation 

For so many years 

Tethered to a ringing telephone 

In a room full ot mirrors 

A pretty girl in your bathroom 

Checking out her sex appeal 

I asked myself when you said you loved me 

Do you think this can be real? 

Still I sent up my prayer 

Wondering where it had to go 

With heaven full of astronauts 

And the Lord on death row 

While the millions of his lost and lonely ones 

Call out and clamour to be found 

Caught in their struggle for higher positions 

And their search for love that sticks around

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

You've had lots of lovely women 

Now you turn your gaze to me 

Weighing the beauty and the imperfection 

To see if I'm worthy 

Like the church 

Like a cop 

Like a mother 

You want me to be truthful 

Sometimes you turn it on me like a weapon though 

And I need your approval

Still I sent up my prayer 

Wondering who was there to hear 

I said Send me somebody 

Who's strong and somewhat sincere 

With the millions of the lost and lonely ones 

I called out to be released 

Caught in my struggle for higher achievements 

And my search for love 

That don't seem to cease
