Karen |
| I just want some affection |
| I just want some affection |
| I don’t want no hoochie-coochie mama |
| No back door woman |
| No Queen Street sex thing |
| I want a tiger on bended knees |
| With all the kindness of the Japanese |
| I just want some affection |
| I wish I heard voices |
| Wish I was a telephone |
| Karen yeah-yeah, Karen yeah-yeah |
| Karen yeah-yeah, Karen yeah-yeah yeah |
| I said yeah, oh Karen! |
| I know this girl |
| This very special girl |
| And she works in a library, yeah |
| Standing there behind the counter |
| Willing to help |
| With all the problems that I encounter |
| Helps me find Hemingway |
| Helps me find Genet |
| Helps me find Brecht |
| Helps me find Chandler |
| Helps me find James Joyce |
| She always makes the right choice |
| She’s no queen, she’s no angel |
| Just a peasant from the village |
| She’s my god, she’s my god |
| She’s my g-o-d, she’s my god, yeah, yeah |
| She’s my g-o-o-d, yeah |
| Oh, she’s my god now |
| Yeah! |
| Karen yeah-yeah, Karen yeah-yeah |
| Karen yeah-yeah, Karen yeah-yeah yeah |
| Oh yeah, oh Karen! |
| And she stands there in the library |
| Like a nun in a church does |
| Like a nun in a church does |
| She stands there all alone |
| 'Cos she gets me something that I |
| Just can’t get now anywhere else |
| Cause the girls that I see |
| Walking around, yeah the ones I see |
| Walking on the street |
| Are so damn-da-da-da-damned cold |
| 'Cos they must have eskimo blood in their veins |
| And the one that I want |
| I just can’t see |
| I can’t see her there |
| I can’t see her anywhere |
| Alright! |
| Oh, Karen yeah-yeah… |
| Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen! |
