You Can't Do Me - Madeleine Peyroux (玛黛琳·蓓荷)

Composed by：Larry KleinMadeleine PeyrouxWalter Becker

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 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

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

I should have been

I should have been

A pair of ragged claws

And for a while for a while just a while

Just a while

For a good long while good long while

You'd see me

Smile smile smile

I'd crawl the seas crawl the seas

On my bony knees my bony knees

No apologies

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 rocking 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

I should have been

I should have been

A pair of ragged claws

And if I was if I was

If I was then if I was

If I was

Then I'd complain no more

And for a while for a while

For just a while just a while

For a good long while good long while

You'd see me smile smile smile

I'd crawl the seas crawl the seas

On my bony knees my bony knees

No apologies

No apologies for my brave new style

I wouldn't get

Wrecked like a rebel on a racetrack

Jacked like a fifty one 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
