ray charles - look what they've done to my song, ma lyrics

[verse 1]
h-llo mama, h-llo mama it’s me
how you feeling mama?
hm-hmm, that’s alright
i’ve got something i want to talk to you about
if you don’t mind
and i ain’t mad, mama, no, no no no
wait a minute, listen mama

[chorus]
look what they done to my song, ma
look what they done to my song, ma
the only thing i could do half right and now it’s turning out all wrong, mama
look what they done to my song
now listen if you please

[verse 2]
wish i could find a good book, i’d like to live in the thing now
wish i could find a good book, now, hey hey hey
if i could find a real good book, you know i
i’d never have to come out and look
at what they done to my song

[chorus]
look what they done to my brain, ma
look what they done to my brain
oh mama, it’s a shame, you won’t believe this, but it’s true
they picked it like a chicken bone and i’m-ah, just about to go insane mama
look what they done to my brain

[verse 3]
now girls, if you don’t mind, i’d like to hear that some french
ils ont change ma chanson, ma
(ooh, not bad)
ils ont change ma chanson
(uh-huh. let me see here {franglish gibberish})
ills ont change ma chanson
(my french must be pretty bad, i better do this in english)

[chorus]
look what they done to my song, ma
look what they done to my song ma
put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down ma
look what they done to my song

[verse 4]
maybe it’s alright
maybe it’s ok, i don’t know
but i tell ya
if my tears were money, i’d be a millionaire today
you know, the only thing i get to have right, now it’s turning out all wrong, mama
you can’t believe what they’ve done to my song ma, that i wrote myself
they put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down, mama
lord, if i could find a good book
i’d never have to come out and look at, uh
what they trying to do to my brain
it’s a shame mama, you see they
they done pick it like a chicken bone
and i’m-ah just about to go insane
i’m insane, insane, mama
i’m going crazy, mama, that’s what it is
lord knows i don’t care what they done to my song
no, i don’t care about that, but see
the main thing, mama
what they trying to do to me
you see, well they stole everything i had, mama
and they made a million with it, and you know that hurts
but oh, i’m gonna keep on working on the building
just like you taught me, mama
whoah, yes i will, yes i will, yeah

[outro]
whoah mama
mama…..mama….mama….mama
