I don't want no one fussing over me
A sweet darling looking over me
I won't belong, belong to nobody
And that's the way it's gonna be

I was born as cold as sin
But bought up in a shack
I've been a mean mean child
Since the day I was born
And there ain't no turning back
Not no how
There ain't no turning back

I dig the rhythm a bass guitar
You'll find me where the swinging places are
Where all the other cats faces are
A rhythm as near and mean as mine

I was born as cold as sin
But bought up in a shack
I've been a mean mean child
Since the day I was born
And there ain't no turning back
Not no how
There ain't no turning back

Just watch me shimmy to a solid beat
A dolls recurring but she's too sweet
I kiss her once and then I take my feet
A outside on the street again

I was born as cold as sin
But bought up in a shack
I've been a mean mean child
Since the day I was born
And there ain't no turning back
Not no how
There ain't no turning back

Don't want nobody fussing over me
A sweet darling looking over me
I won't belong, belong to nobody
And that's the way it's gonna be

I was born as cold as sin
But bought up in a shack
I've been a mean mean child
Since the day I was born
And there ain't no turning back
Not no how
There ain't no turning back
