Les paroles de la chanson
« You can't do me »
Madeleine Peyroux
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!
’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!

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!
