No Longer in Need of a Ménage à Trois





No Longer in Need of a Ménage à Trois
(in the voice of Janis Joplin)


I'm willing to accept
that not all men are for me.
Not even the ones I like.
You must also be willing to accept
that you cannot have us all.
But I can be your man.
Be your man.
Man.
Think about it.
If you love me, I'll make you feel
If you love me ...
If you love me, I'll make you feel
as if I were

the only man on Earth.
