Mixed-Up Girl - Live at Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 3/5/1971

Gonna let you go, my angel
 Though I want you to stay
 I could use my blind self-pity
 Throw it in your way
 Though the times have turned between us
 And I know you don't believe
 That it makes one bit of difference
 If you stay or if you leave
 Why can't I be lonely like that lonely rushing river
 That's pushing down a mountain on its way to meet the sea?
 Why can't I need someone like that river needs ocean?
 Why did you have to get so mixed up baby
 With a mixed up girl, with a mixed up girl like me? Oh
 Gonna make it short now, angel
 Though I could make it long
 I could take you through all the changes
 Show you where you're wrong
 But our dreams don't go together
 And you'll never see the light
 So it really doesn't matter
 Who was wrong, who was right
 Yeah, why can't I be lonely like that lonely rushing river
 That's pushing down a mountain on its way to meet the sea?
 Oh, why can't I need someone like that river needs ocean?
 Why did you have to get so mixed up baby
 With a mixed up girl (with a mixed up girl) with a crazy girl like me?
 ♪
 Kinda way out, did you like it?
 ♪
 Cut it
 You did like it?
 Alright, you messed up but I liked it (Aretha, come here)
 I would like to ask you to forgive us for a few moments anyway but
 We're trying out new things that we haven't recorded
 I know you're expecting to hear a lot of the things that we have heard on record and you'll hear
 But fair with us just for a minute, we're trying out something new, okay
