Joan Alexandra Molinsky (born June 8, 1933), better known by her stage name Joan Rivers, is an American television personality, comedian, and actress. She is known for her brash manner; her loud, raspy voice with a heavy New York accent; and her numerous cosmetic surgeries. Rivers' comic style relies heavily on her ability to poke fun at herself and other Hollywood celebrities.
Joan Rivers was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, a borough of New York City, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants Beatrice (née Grushman; January 6, 1906 – October 1975) and Meyer C. Molinsky (December 7, 1900 – January 1985). She was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and her family later moved to Larchmont, in Westchester County, New York. She attended Connecticut College between 1950 and 1952 and graduated from Barnard College in 1954 with a bachelor-of-arts degree in English literature and anthropology. Before entering show business, Rivers worked at various jobs such as a tour guide at Rockefeller Center, a writer/proofreader at an advertising agency and as a fashion consultant at Bond Clothing Stores. During this period, the agent Tony Rivers advised her to change her name, so she chose Joan Rivers as her stage name.

Vicki
I want you
I don't want to sleep, go on and speak
Wearing out the carpet with my feet
And I want you
I want you
You don't know how bad you've got me hooked
I hate myself 'cause you don't like my looks
I want you
I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
Everything's still playing in my head
I'm twisting and I'm crying in my bed
I want you
Yeah, I want you
It's not fair
I should be there too
With you
Here I am still trying to erase
Everything, your voice, your smile, your face
I want you
Yeah, I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
'Cause I want you
Yeah, I want you
