Well, you got some high class, baby
Steppin’ all over me
With your high tone and your blue line
Respectability

You go down on the corner
Havin’ yourself a ball
Changed your way of livin’
I don’t know you at all

I can’t let you do it
I can’t let you do it to me
I know you’re gonna do it
But I can’t let you do it to me

If the sun don’t shine no more
And the blue sky don’t appear
The rainfall don’t fall no more
I really don’t think you’d care

You got so wrapped up, baby
In everything you do
Been putting on the dog, you know
And I mean you

I can’t let you do it
I can’t let you do it to me
I know you’re gonna do it
But I can’t let you do it to me

If you don’t shut down this banquet
If you don’t shut down real soon
Gonna find yourself out on the street
Looking for another room

You’ve seen me on the corner
Having myself a ball
Gonna change my way of livin'
And you won’t know me at all

I can’t let you do it
I can’t let you do it to me
I know you’re gonna do it
But I can’t let you do it to me
