Well, every little thing I ever wanted to do, I did it. I didn't quit, no, kept on my way. Tried to hold me down underneath your thumb, you can't stop me. Oh, no not me. No, not today.
And the mess you made when you left, Baby, I'm still cleanin'. Come back to me and listen when I say:
Try and hold me down you can't do it anymore. No longer have one foot in the grave. Take my hand, you can try and stop me now, but baby I'm leaving. Get outta my way.
Well now go ahead, girl, and strum your ukulele. No, it won't phase me. No how, no way.
Yeah, you can rat-a-tat-tat down in that Louisian-er and I'll strum my banjer on my knee.
Came back from the dead just to hold the hand of my baby. Well, I don't mean maybe. Listen when I say.
Try and hold me down you can't do it anymore. No longer have one foot in the grave. Take my hand, you can try and stop me now, but baby I'm leaving. Get outta my way.
