| You Can’t Do What My Last Man Did
|
| Listen, daddy mine, what do you want of me?
|
| I’ve been just as good as can be;
|
| Now the love I had for you has turned to hate;
|
| You don’t appreciate
|
| So, Daddy, there’s the gate
|
| You can’t do what my last man did
|
| Boss me 'round, and treat me like he did
|
| I’m wise to what you’d like to do
|
| So from now on, let me miss you
|
| I weep and pine all the time
|
| While you show off with friends of mine!
|
| My last man tried to drag me down
|
| But he was one good man to have around;
|
| But when the clock on the wall strikes half past three
|
| I want all the things you took from me
|
| 'Cause you can’t do what my last man did
|
| Early this morning, you wanted to fight
|
| 'Cause you heard I cabareted last night
|
| Tried to take my money, and pawn my flat
|
| Now you’ve worn the welcome clean off my mat
|
| 'Cause you can’t do what my last man did:
|
| Hold me tight, treat me right, every night;
|
| I’d love you if you only did
|
| Every night, treat me right, hold me tight
|
| You’re mighty old to be so bold
|
| And I can’t stand a man that’s cold
|
| Why you can’t love me sufficiently
|
| To make me forget my used-to-be
|
| He could love like a lover should
|
| Always could, when he would, he was good
|
| You’ve lost your nest, go east or west, but go, just go
|
| Now that last cruel papa, he blacked my eye
|
| Then left me alone to sigh and cry
|
| But you can’t do what that last man did |
