You Can't Do Me |
| You can’t do me, you can’t do me |
| You can’t do me the way you did before |
| You can’t do me, you can’t do me |
| You can’t do me the way you did before |
| 'Cause when you do and when you do |
| 'Cause when you do, you know I get so blue |
| When you do and when you do |
| And when you do, you know I get so blue |
| And I go down like a deep sea diver |
| Out like a Coltrane tenor man |
| Lost like a Chinese war baby |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| I’d be blue like a Mississippi sharecropper |
| Screwed like a high school cheerleader |
| Tattooed like a popeyed sailor man |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| I should have been, I should have been |
| I should have been a pair of ragged claws |
| I should have been, I should have been |
| I should have been a pair of ragged claws |
| And for a while, just a while, for a good long while |
| You’d see me smile, smile, smile |
| I’d crawl the seas on my bony knees |
| No apologies for my brave new style |
| I wouldn’t go bust like an Internet millionaire |
| Boom like a Lebanese belly dancer |
| Bang like a new year’s firecracker |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| I wouldn’t get bent like a rattan rockin' chair |
| Blanked like a last place also ran |
| Burned like an Arkansas griddlecake |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| I should have been, I should have been |
| I should have been a pair of ragged claws |
| And if I was, if I was |
| Then if I was then I’d complain no more |
| And for a while, for just a while, for a good long while |
| You’d see me smile, smile, smile |
| I’d crawl the seas on my bony knees |
| No apologies for my brave new style |
| I wouldn’t get wrecked like a rebel on a racetrack |
| Jacked like a '51 Cadillac |
| Macked like a bunny in a mansion |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Spittooned like an Alabama 'backy wad |
| Harpooned in a Melville sailor yard |
| Cartooned like a Charlie Brown Christmas card |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Schooled like a milk money bully whip |
| Sued like a teenage downloader |
| Unglued like a bull in a china shop |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Cranked like a speed freak high roller |
| Yanked like a little league ball swatter |
| Spanked like a fly on a bar counter |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Duked like a pistol whipped card swapper |
| Rebuked like a Bible belt border crosser |
| Juked like a payola chart topper |
| Gone, gone, gone |
