Too Short Arms (I Don't Care) Lyrics

(Morgan Fisher/Ray Major)

Last night I woke up on a subway train
Bin' travelling round and round all night
My head was hurtin' and my clothes were torn
It must have been a hell of a fight
And you know it doesn't feel so funny
When you're waking up at half past dead
And they've taken all your stuff and your money
And you wonder was it something you said

Yes I know I ain't exactly
A clean livin' boy
But sometimes it just ain't fair
When I get home to you
After all I've been through
You moan and scream and shout
Because your money's run out

I don't care
If you goes to workin'
I don't care
If you stay at home
But if you go downtown
And you put it around
Why don't you leave me alone

You say to me that I've wasted my life
I've played it just like a fool
Don't give me no talk
I guess it won't get too far
It ain't done me no harm
It don't bother me at all
You said to me that I've been wasting your time
Your gonna find another man
I've had all I can take
Won't you give it a break
I'm sick and tired of people trying to tell me what I am

I don't care
If I go to heaven
I don't care
If I stay in hell
'cos I know that I'm doing
What I really wanna do
And you know that I'm doing it well
Yes I know I didn't love my mamma
I got everything wrong at school
But the top of my hat to my dear old dad
Tonight you sit tight I'm gonna give it to you

I don't care
If I goes to workin'
I don't care
If you stay at home
But if you go downtown
That you're pulling around
Why don't you leave me alone

I don't care
I got too short arms
I don't care
I don't care
I got too long legs
I don't care
I don't care
I got too bald head
I don't care
