Trust Me
Joplin (Janis) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard somebody say, oh, "The older the grape
Sweeter the wine, sweeter the wine"
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day, yeah
That's the price you've got to pay
Please, a little more time
Takes a road runner just a little bit uh-longer, dear
Oh, to make up my mind, I gotta make up my mind
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day
That's the price that we both got to pay
I gotta know, know that I'm ready, oh ready to settle down
'Cause I think too much of your loving, baby
Yeah, I don't wanna mess your life around!
So if you love me like you tell me that you're doing, dear
You shouldn't mind paying the price, any price, any price
Love is supposed to be that special kind of thing
Make anybody want to sacrifice
Oh, my love is like a seed, baby, just needs time to grow
It's growing stronger day by day
That's the price we both gotta pay
Trust in me baby, trust in me baby
Trust in my love, in my heart
Keep the faith, baby, keep the faith in me, dear, in my love
Don't turn your face away from me, dear, oh you leave a lost girl
Oh, don't turn your love away, no no no no no no no
You gotta believe in me, baby, yeah, trust me dear, oh

The second verse of the song talks about how Joplin's love has become stronger every day and that they still need a little more time to make up their minds. However, she mentions that she is ready to settle down and she does not want to mess up their lives around, indicating that she needs reassurance from her partner to go ahead with the commitment. The bridge of the song speaks about love being a special and sacrificial thing, and if her partner really loves her, they would be willing to pay the price and wait for the love to blossom.
Overall, "Trust Me" is a song that emphasizes the importance of trust and waiting for true love to flourish. It touches upon the complexities of relationships and the need for reassurance and patience to make things work.

This was the last song she recorded a bobby Womack song he played guitar on it
Another post modern song
Kris kristofferson song
Me and bobby McGee
She never got to here it
On the radio in those days
But she was exploring
New music
Love and miss that little girl
Rip sweetie
@WhizzingFish12
This is Janis's finest moment. Her vocals are gorgeous, tender, heartbreaking and yet hopeful. And all her backing bands - Big Brother & the Holding Company, The Kozmic Blues Band, and the Full Tilt Boogie Band - are just fantastic.
@dfwherbie8814
Great song. Great performance. Bobby Womack wrote it
@jmallen1962
She is with her new band on this record called Full Tilt Boogie.
