Janis Joplin - Flower In The Sun Lyrics






Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.

And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be ?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this ?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, Charlie,
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I'm never too lonely.

It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving,
Baby, don't you hear me cry ?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don't you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa.

  4. a.... ....

    God wants his beloved ones to stay by his side early. She's one of them.

    a.... ....

    So fantastic! This woman is the best there has ever been. I lived during the sixties. She was my idol and still is. Thank you Janis. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  17. A.... P....

    She was murdered by heroin and the people who enabled her habit and the people who did not try to stop it. 2017 and the same thing but no press, thousands of people overdosing and no national outcry. selective media in my opinion. wtf

    i would give my life just to see her and talk to her , get some of her "janis" wow shes my queen of all genres!! (she aint part of a genre shes was just Janis)! RIP cozmic whitch !!

  39. M.... ....

    I'd give anything to have at least a bit of her vocal talent...and the creative force behind it.  She's infinitely amazing.

    M.... ....

    The photo at 1:02 moves me.
    She loved being on stage and could back it up.
    All the photos are great and tell a story.
    I love her photos with her Porsche.

  40. D.... K....

    16M views amazing wow girl you need to be alive how could you leave this world like that and alone that I can't grasp

    D.... K....

    She didn't mean to OD. If she lived today, she and other users would've been alerted to the "hot" nature of the drugs she had bought. Back then it was Buyer Beware, kind of like buying a pig in a poke. Maybe you can take a little bit of comfort from knowing that. Terrible loss any way you look at it.

    D.... K....

    I think she was broken hearted and did not give a shi_ anymore.

  41. J.... S....

    It sounds like she's having fun.I'm glad.

  42. A.... T....

    she's still a music goddess man. ✊

    A.... T....

    nooo she s a woman

    A.... T....

    Gianni Bombolee he said, SHE is a goddess, man

  43. V.... A....

    janis joplin la mejor

  44. V.... A....

    unica voz como ninguna que se paresca

  45. M.... O....

    3:07 beautiful

  46. R.... W....

    Isn't this her Full Tilt Boogie Band. But, man, it sure sounds like Sam Andrew.

    R.... W....

    +N ic (K) sure sounds like andrew playin guitar, don't it?

    R.... W....

    +Robert Wright yes, the solo rips my face off.

    R.... W....

    This is Big Brother with Andrew on guitar.  This song is from the "Live at Winterland '68" album.   The album didn't get released until 1998.

  47. M.... ....

    Thank you for keeping J alive. God rest her soul.

  48. M.... D....

    wonderful blues

  49. R.... ....

    Wonderful Blues, Janis rocking magical melody:):):)

    R.... ....

    this is not blues

  50. E.... S....

    The women of blue's

  51. F.... ....

    Fan-bleeding-tastic... Seriously, I was born in the wrong era! The 80s was good, the 90s was great but you look back to the 60s and you just know somehow that it was better.

    F.... ....

    It was.

    F.... ....

    Firebrand There was something right happening in the 60's.

    F.... ....

    It´s not over!

  52. M.... B....

  56. h.... m....

    turns out that our grandma do had some balls

  57. G.... A....

    Why dont people make this sort of music anymore? Instead, now everyone brainwashes their heads with dupstep, techno and electro music! Im so sick of it! -.-"

  58. I.... M....

  59. m.... ....

    LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  62. J.... R....

    ... i hate the comments.

  63. c.... d....

    hell yeah lets go

  64. P.... T....

    OH YEAHH THIS IS MUUUSIC<33

  65. W.... B....

    On one hand...all these people commenting about them being under 20 and listening to Joplin or Pearl Jam aren't anything special, I listened to them since I was about 10 thanks to my brothers. On the other hand, it makes me so hyped that there are still young people, kids even who care to dig a little deeper for good music than just go easy and listen to what media promote. Hope dies last :)

  66. p.... M....

    con janis si me caos!
