Lyrics:

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, cause 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
