Heartburn Stew Lyrics - Yoko Ono

I threw my woman power in a pot of stew 

And waited for my love to come 

But not a single word did I hear from him 

So I tried the stew on my dog but he wouldn't even eat it 

I put my light heart on a matching silver plate 

And waited for my love to come 

But not a single footstep was heard near the door 

So I ate the plate myself and got a heartburn 

Heartburn, heartburn plate 

Heartburn, heartburn cake 

I toasted my pride and covered it with apple jam 

And waited for my love to come 

But not a single sign of a stir or a breeze 

So I soaked the bread in my milk and I gave it to the birds 

Heartburn, heartburn plate 

Heartburn, heartburn cake 

I watched the clock ticking, ticking away to my past 

Eight years old, birthday and raindrops 

Not a single line from my dad or my mom 

So I laid the cake on my cat but she wouldn't even touch it 

Heartburn, heartburn stew 

Heartburn, heartburn blues 

What do I want with a heartburn? I ask you 

Don't try to give me the word 

'Cause I ask a clever question 

And I get a silly answer
