I Don't Know
The Blues Brothers Lyrics

Sick and tired by the way you do
I am fed up and exhausted by the way you behave

Good time papa gonna poison you
Your excessive partying will be the cause of your downfall

Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
I will use magic to bring about your misfortune

Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead
You will eventually suffer the consequences of your actions and be left with nothing

She said, "You shouldn't say that"
The woman I'm with thinks that I shouldn't say such things

I said, "What did I say to make you mad this time, baby?"
I ask her what exactly did I say to upset her

She said, "Umm"
She doesn't have a specific answer to give

I don't know My oh, my oh, my
I don't know what to say, but it's a frustrating situation

She said, "I don't know, but my baby's putting down"
She doesn't know what's going on, but her baby is performing well

The woman I love, she got devil in her jaw
The woman I'm with is devilish and dangerous

Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She wears the finest clothes

She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em up beside the wall
She is capable of washing her clothes and storing them carefully

She can throw 'em out the window, pick 'em up a little bit before the fall
However, she is also able to discard them without care

Sometimes I think you got your habits on
I'm suspicious that you may have some deep-seated personal issues

My mama told me, my mama sat down and cried
My mother expressed her sorrow and concern for my promiscuous behavior

She said, "You're too young a man, to have many woman you got"
My mother discouraged me from having multiple partners at such a young age

Said, "If women kill me, I don't mind dying"
I replied with a reckless comment admitting that I am willing to take risks for love

The woman I love, I wanted her week before last
I've been wanting to be with the woman I love for over a week

The woman I love, I got out classed
However, I didn't measure up to her standards

Thought I warned you, baby, a long time ago
I attempt to remind her that I had warned her previously

Better watch your step, gonna to have to let you go
I threaten her to watch her behavior if she wants to remain with me

I said, "Well, baby You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas And when you bend back, I'm looking right into the New Year"
I make a provocative and suggestive comment about her physical attributes

She said, "Honey, honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my New Year's resolution But I didn't give up smoking"
She responds with a witty comeback, jibing back at my earlier comment by mentioning her smoking habit

I said, "Woman, woman, you gonna walk a mile for a Camel Or you gonna make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?"
I continue to flirt with her and make suggestive remarks about pleasing each other

But she said, she said, "That all depends on what you're packing Regular or king size?"
However, she's not deterred and makes an innuendo about my physical endowment

And then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise It was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club
She cleverly makes another suggestive joke, this time about my preferred whiskey brand

I said, I said, "Well now what you got to say, baby?"
I challenge her to come up with another witty comeback

She said, "Umm" I don't know My oh, my oh, my
Once again, she is caught off guard and doesn't have a clever response

She said, "I don't know, but my baby's putting down"
Despite being put on the spot, she praises my performance
