Little Feat - Clownin' Lyrics
Fred Tackett, Paul BarrereNow you got the style attitde so well and properYour etiquette's a cut above the restYou got the kind of walk sets them heads a turnin'My heart's burnin' yearnin' for your bestHow 'bout for a while ya give this boy a tumbleDo the rhumba you know what I meanYa throw me a smile something to remember just one timeI'm down here on my knees Won't you please stop your teasin'Ya know you got no reasonTo be clownin' with my heartCan't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruinGot me drownin' no it's tearin' me apartBefore I'd ever let you see me cryin'I'd eat boiled owl, girl if I'm lyin I'm dyin' -- I'm gonna walk Well you set that choir on fire every Sunday mornin'The way you sashay into churchAll the brothers and the sisters down in that amen cornerRoll their eyes in disbelief at your short skirtsOh man, you shook their chakrasYou got their zodiacs so outta whackIt's apocalypse now and it's all your faultI ain't runnin' scared, no I won't hide my eyesI'm on you like a cowboy on a mail order bride So won't you please stop your teasin'Ya know you got no reasonTo be clownin' with my heartCan't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruinGot me drownin' no it's tearin' me apartBefore I'd ever let you see me cryin'Tar and feather me, babe, if I'm lyin I'm dyin' -- I'm gonna walk Won't you please stop your teasin'Ya know you got no reasonTo be clownin' with my heartCan't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruinGot me drownin' no it's tearin' me apartBefore I'd ever let you see me cryin'I'd eat boiled owl, girl if I'm lyin I'm dyin' -- I'm gonna walk
