Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - Don't Try It

You run your head, said my love ain't strong
I got a feelin' something's goin' on
(Don't try to put me down) Don't try it, baby
(Don't start to act the clown) Don't do it, baby
(Don't try to mess me around)
'Cause if you do I'll put the hurt on you

You treat me like a run-down tool
Look in the mirror, baby, you ain't that cool
(Don't try to treat me mean) Don't do it, baby
(Just 'cause you dress so clean) I'm a workin' man
(You're not a movie queen)
Don't lose your head or you'll wind up dead

I checked the river, and it's gettin' deep
I found some cement shoes to fit your feet
The MKT's runnin' right on time
Just think about it 'til you change your mind

I'm diggin' ditches workin' hard each day
But someone else'll hеlp you spend my pay
(Just all them times that I can't rеad) Don't let them fool you, now
(I ain't so blind that I can't see) Just lookin' right at ya
(Tryin' to make a fool of me)
You mess around, you gonna lay around, yes

-- Guitar Solo --
Yes
Woo, yes
I can't take it

I checked the river, and it's runnin' deep
I found some cement shoes to fit your feet
The MKT's runnin' right on time
Just think about it 'til you change your mind

I'm diggin' ditches workin' hard each day
For someone else to help you spend my pay
(Just all them times that I can't read) Don't let them fool you, now
(I ain't so blind that I can't see) I'm lookin' right at ya
(Don't try to make a fool of me) Leave me in a fix
(I ain't so blind that I can't see) I'll put you in a deep six
(Just all them times that I can't read) Can't take your jive
(I ain't so blind that I can't see) No, no
(Don't try to make a fool of me)
