Look What They've Done To My Song Ma (Unplugged Version) Lyrics
Melanie
Lyrics
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my brain, ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, ma
Look what they've done to my song
I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Will if I cold find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look
Look what they've done to my song
It'll be all right ma, maybe it'll be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peuz faire
Et ce n'est pas bon ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag
And they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song
It's the only thing I could do all right
And they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song, ma
