Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma Lyrics - Ray Charles

Hello mama, hello mama it's me 

How you feeling mama? 

Hm-hmm, that's alright 

I've got something I want to talk to you about 

If you don't mind 

And I ain't mad, mama, no, no no no 

Wait a minute, listen mama 

Look what they done to my song, ma 

Look what they done to my song, ma 

The only thing I could do half right and now it's turning out all wrong, mama 

Look what they done to my song 

Now listen if you please

Wish I could find a good book, I'd like to live in the thing now 

Wish I could find a good book, now, hey hey hey 

If I could find a real good book, you know I, 

I'd never have to come out and look 

At what they done to my song 

Look what they done to my brain, ma 

Look what they done to my brain 

Oh mama, it's a shame, you won't believe this, but it's true 

They picked it like a chicken bone and I'm-ah, just about to go insane mama 

Look what they done to my brain 

Now girls, if you don't mind, I'd like to hear that some French 

Ils ont change ma chanson, ma 

(ooh, not bad) 

Ils ont change ma chanson 

(uh-huh. Let me see here {franglish gibberish}) 

Ils ont change ma chanson 

(My French must be pretty bad, I better do this in English) 

Look what they done to my song, ma 

Look what they done to my song ma 

Put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down ma 

Look what they done to my song 

(scat) 

Maybe it's alright 

Maybe it's OK, I don't know 

But I tell ya 

If my tears were money, I'd be a millionaire today 

You know, the only thing I get to have right, now it's turning out all wrong, mama 

You can't believe what they've done to my song ma, that I wrote myself 

They put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down, mama 

Lord, if I could find a good book, 

I'd never have to come out and look at, uh 

What they trying to do to my brain 

It's a shame mama, you see they 

They done pick it like a chicken bone 

And I'm-ah just about to go insane 

I'm insane, insane, mama 

I'm going crazy, mama, that's what it is 

Lord knows I don't care what they done to my song 

No, I don't care about that, but see 

The main thing, mama 

What they trying to do to me 

You see, well they stole everything I had, mama 

And they made a million with it, and you know that hurts 

But oh, I'm gonna keep on working on the building, 

Just like you taught me, mama 

Whoah, yes I will, yes I will, yeah 

(scat, fade to end)
