Just like my sister with a spinning top,
You whip me round and round and round and I can't stop.
I'm running after you just like a lovesick dog;
Feeling like the little boy who's lost in the fog, yeah
Just like a fly who's attracted to jam;
You put me next to you and baby that's what I am.
Your messing me up just like a broken toy;
Stick me back together again say I'm your boy.
But I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
You ain't got the hold on me you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul!
[shouted w/ guitar break]
Get out of my way you! You ain't no good! … Bad!
Just like a string on a fiddlers bow,
You got me all so tensed-up tight you won't let me go.
The price I pay to keep your love is much too high.
If you quit me, it will hit me, baby I'll die!
But I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
You ain't got no hold on me, you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul!
Yeah I said I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
No no no you ain't got no hold on me, you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul! yeahhh
Save my soul woman … get off my back! … Are you!?
You're dragging me down baby … Leave me alone!
Oh yeah
