Look what they've done to my song, ma
look what they've done to my song
well it's the only thing i could do half right
and it's turning out all wrong, ma
look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my brain, ma
look what they've done to my brain
well they picked it like a chicken bone
and i think i'm half insane, ma
look what they've done to my song
I wish i could find a good book to live in
wish i could find a good book
well, if i could find a real good book
i'd never have to come out and look at
what they've done to my song
La la la la la la la...
look what they've done to my song
But maybe it will be all right, ma
maybe it'll be ok
well, if the people are buying tears
i'll be rich some day, ma
look what they've done to my song
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
ils ont ma chanson
c'est la seule chose que je peux faire
et ce n'est pas bon, ma
ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they've done to my song, ma
look what they've done to my song
well they tied it up in a plastic bag
and turned it upside down
look what they've done to my song
Oh mama
look what they've done to my song, ma
look what they've done to my song
well it's the only thing i could do half right
and they turned it upside down
look what they've done to my song.
