You Can't Do Me

You cant do me, you cant do me
You cant do me the way you did before
You cant do me, you cant do me
You cant 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
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
I should have been
I should have been
I should have been
A pair of ragged claws
And for a while
For just a while
For a good long while
Youd see me smile, smile, smile
Id crawl the seas on my bony knees
No apologies for my brave new style
I wouldnt go
Bust like an internet millionaire
Boom like a lebanese belly-dancer
Bang like a new years firecracker
Gone, gone, gone
I wouldnt 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, if I was
Then Id complain no more
And for a while, for just a while
For a good long while
Youd see me smile, smile, smile
Id crawl the seas
On my bony knees
No apologies for my brave new style
I wouldnt 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
