I Wont Be Your Yoko Ono Lyrics by Dar Williams

I Wont Be Your Yoko Ono Lyrics

    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 . . . . . .
