"The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker"

"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)


"Help Me" by Joni Mitchell from Court And Spark (1974)

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taIking-ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom

Cool I never knew that...
Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?
