[Janis Ian - Thankyous lyrics]

Mmm, ooh

Papa gave me music my mama gave me soul
Brother gave me reaching out to hold
Teachers gave me license
Learning set me free
My schooling gave me nothing
Music showed me how to live
Papa gave me wannabe brother gave me empathy
Mama gave me woman but that isn't all I need

'Cause I have lived in houses
I have lived in homes
Eaten off of tables made of wood or stone
Through the trials and tribulations
I've never known how to say I love you
And let my feelings show (M-m-m)

Thank you for the music
And thank you for the songs
Bless you for the freedom

In knowing right from wrong
I thank you for the laughter
The heartache and the tears
It's a blessing to grow
It's a goodness to be here
You give me wannabe you give me sympathy
You give me woman

Thank you for loving me and letting it show
It's a pleasure to be here
So bless us, every one
