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 could 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 around, and treat me like you did |
I see right now you must be told |
That I can’t stand a man that’s cold |
Who can’t love me sufficiently |
To make me forget my stupidity |
He couldn’t love like a lover should |
You’ve lost your nest, go east or west |
But go, I need your soul |
Now that last cruel papa, he blacked my eye |
The next man who tries is doomed to die |
Oh, you can’t do what my last man did |
Now early this morning, you wanted to fight |
'Cause you heard that I cabareted last night |
Tried to take my money, and pawn my flat |
Now you’ve worn the welcome clean off my mat |
Daddy, you… |
Now 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 |
