I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono Lyrics
The song I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono is performed by Dar Williams in the album named The Green World in the year 2000 .
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 pa*sion
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
