I Can't Function

I'm working hard from morning 'til night

My shoulder bent into the wheel

I get home, you start to run me down

How do you think it makes me feel?

Your lashing turn

It hurts my soul

I start to think

And I lose control

I'm not moving like I know I should

Or feeling like I'd like to feel

And I spend my days just fooling around

I can't function,

Honey when you run me down

Oh darling don't you run me down

I gotta make a little fortune

So I can bring it on home to you

You're only hurting yourself my friend

Treating me the way you do

My hands are tied behind my back

I'm drinking dinner from a paper sack

Every day is the Fourth of July

And I'm nothing but an April Fool

Well I spend my days just cruising around

I can't function

Honey when you run me down

Oh darling don't you run me down

I'm half a man

With half a heart

I hear you laughing

And I fall apart

I'd like to put it on the table

But I'm lost before I even start

You do me wrong and it's bringing me down

My idle ways are the talk of the town

You make me feel like a do-nothing-clown

I can't function

Honey when you run me down

Oh darling don't you run me down

Oh darling don't you run me down

.........

[Background talk..

Don't you run me down darling

... In public! .....]
