You can´t do me, you can´t do me, you can´t do me the way you did before {x2}
´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´ve been blewed like a Mississippi sharecropper, screwed like a high-school cheerleader
Tattooed like a popeyed sailorman, gone, gone, gone!

I should have been, I should have been, I should have been a pair of ragged claws {x2}
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!

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!
Spitooned 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!
