I Am So Happy That I Am

I Talked To The Record Company About What I Had In Mind. They Said They Wanted Something Lush. I Figured The Best Thing To Do Was Let Them Hear What I Had In Mind.

When I'm Performing For The People, I Am Me, Then. I Am That Little Girl Who, When She Was Five Years Old, Used To Sing At Church. Or I'm That 15-year-old Young Lady Who Wanted To Be Grown And Wanted To Sing And Couldn't Wait To Be Smokin' A Cigarette, You Know?

People That Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

Most Of The Songs I Sing Have That Blues Feeling In It. They Have That Sorry Feeling. And I Don't Know What I'm Sorry About. I Don't.

I Really Turned Into, You Know, The Real Street Kid. I Was Kind Of Like A Runaway, But I Had A Mother, You Know What I Mean, And I Had A Place To Stay.
