I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono |
| 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 passion |
| 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 |
| I could save your soul |
| As only true love can change your mind |
| Make you 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… |
