Now cats don't touch that gal that bleeds
You'll get wasted down to your knees
I don't like to brag
Don't like to say what I'll do
'Cause I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Everyday when I shave in my housecoat
Two men have to hold me or I'll cut my throat
'Cause I don't like to brag
Don't like to say what I'll do
'Cause I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Well I found me blade one I could afford
Too long would be knife and too short would be a sword
I don't like to brag
Don't like to say what I'll do
'Cause I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
Last night some cat got smart with my niece
And now you and a sign says, "Rest in peace"
Well, I don't like to brag
I don't like to say what I'll do
'Cause I'm like poison ivy
I'll break out all over you
I don't claim to be bad, I don't claim to be strong
I just like to make bad people leave me alone
Because I don't like to brag
Don't like to say what I'll do
'Cause I'm like poison ivy
People, I'll break out all over you
