Dear Landlord Lyrics - Singles - Mirah

( Janis Joplin ) 

Dear landlord 

Please don't put a price on my soul 

My burden is heavy 

And my dreams are beyond control 

When that steam-boat whistle blows 

I'm gonna give you all i've got to give 

And i do hope you receive it, well 

Depending on the way you feel that you live 

Dear landlord 

Please heed these words that i speak 

I know you've suffered much 

But in this you are not so unique 

All of us at times, we might work too hard 

Too heavy, too fast and too much 

And anyone can fill their life up with things 

They can see but just cannot touch 

Dear landlord 

Please don't dismiss my case 

I'm not about to argue 

I'm not about to move to no other place 

Now each of us has our own special gift 

And you know this was meant to be true 

And if you don't underestimate me 

I won't underestimate you
