No p**** Blues Lyrics

My face is finished, my body's gone.
And I can't help but think standin' up here in all this applause and gazin' down at all the young and the beautiful,
With their questioning eyes,
That I must above all things love myself,
That I must above all things love myself,
That I must above all things love myself,
I saw a girl in the crowd,
I ran over I shouted out,
I asked if I could take her out,
But she said that she didn't want to.

I changed the sheets on my bed,
I combed the hairs across my head,
I sucked in my gut and still she said
That she just didn't want to.

I read her Eliot, read her Yeats,
I tried my best to stay up late,
I fixed the hinges on her gate,
But still she just never wanted to.

I bought her a dozen snow-white doves,
I did her dishes in rubber gloves,
I called her Honeybee, I called her Love,
But she just still didn't want to. She just never wants to.
d***!

I sent her every type of flower,
I played her guitar by the hour,
I patted her revolting little chihuahua,
But still she just didn't want to.

I wrote a song with a hundred lines,
I picked a bunch of dandelions,
I walked her through the trembling pines,
But she just even then didn't want to. She just never wants to.
I thought I'd try another tack,
I drank a litre of cognac,
I threw her down upon her back,
But she just laughed and said that she just didn't want to.

I thought I'd have another go,
I called her mah little ho,
I felt like Marcel Marceau
must feel when she said that she just never wanted to. She just didn't want to.

I got the no p**** blues.
I got the no p**** blues.
I got the no p**** blues.
d***! d***!
No p**** blues.
I got the no p**** blues
I got the no p**** blues.
I got the no p**** blues.
Yeah! Yeah!
