I Can’t Function

[Verse 1]
I'm working hard from mornin’ ‘til night
My shoulder bendin’ to the wheel
I get home, you start to run me down
How do you think it makes me feel?

[Verse 2]
Your lashin’ tongue, it hurts my soul
I start to thinkin’ and I lose control
I'm not movin’ like I know I should
Or feelin’ like I'd like to feel

[Chorus]
And I spend my days just foolin’ around
I can't function, honey, when you run me down
Oh darlin’, don't you run me down

[Verse 3]
I gotta make a little fortune
So I can bring it on home to you
You're only hurtin’ yourself my friend
Treatin’ me the way you do

[Verse 4]
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 nothin’ but an April fool

[Chorus]
Well, I spend my days just cruisin’ around
I can't function, honey, when you run me down
Oh darlin’, don't you run me down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
I'm half a man with half a heart
I hear you laughin’ and I fall apart
I'd like to put it on the table
But I'm lost before I even start

[Bridge]
You do me wrong and it's bringing me down
My idle ways are the talk of the town

[Chorus]
You make me feel like a do-nothing clown
I can't function, honey, when you run me down
Oh darlin’, don't you run me down
Oh darlin’, don't you run me down

[Spoken]
Hey, don’t you run me down darlin’
It’s not polite
In public!
In public?
Down there in front of Abraham & Strauss?
I seen it
I was a W, now I’m an L
Somethin’ wrong with my…
