Lyrics The Blues Brothers

The Blues Brothers

I Don't Know

Sick and tired by the way you do

Good time papa gonna poison you

Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed

Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead

She said you shouldn't say that

I said What did I say to make you mad this time baby?

She said Umm...

I don't know

My oh my oh my

She said I don't know but my baby's holding down

The woman I love has got devil in her jaw

Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth

She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall

She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall

Sometimes I think you got your habits on

She said You shouldn't say that

I said What did I say to piss you off this time baby?

She said Umm...

I don't know, my oh my, I don't know

But my baby's holding down

My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried

She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got

I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile

Said If woman don't kill me I don't mind dying

The woman I love, I want to wait for last

The woman I love, I have all class

Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago

Better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go

She said you shouldn't say that

I said Baby

You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas

And when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year

She said Honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution

But I didn't give up smoking

I said Woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel

Or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?

She said That all depends on what your packing

Regular or kingsize

Then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise

It was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club

I said What now you got to say baby?

She said Umm...

I don't know

My oh my oh my

I don't know

But my baby's holding down
