I Can't Function (Walter Becker)

I'm workin' hard from mornin' to night My shoulder bent into the wheel I get home, you start to run me down How do you think it makes me feel? Your lashing tongue, it hurts my soul I start to think and then I lose control I'm not movin' like I know I should But feelin' like I like to feel And I spent my days just foolin' around I can't function, honey, when you run me down Oh, darlin' don't you run me down I gotta make a little fortune So I can bring it on home to you You're only hurtin' yourself, my friend Treatin' me the way you do My hands are tied behind my back I'm drinking dinner from a paper sack Everyday is the fourth in July And I'm nothin' but an April Fool Well, I spent my days just cruising around I can't function, honey, when you run me down Oh, darlin' don't you run me down I'm half a man with half a heart I hear you laugnin' then I fall apart I'd like to put it on the table But I'm lost before I even start You do me wrong and it's bringin' me down My idle ways are the talk of the town You make me feel like a do nothing clown I can't function, honey, when you run me down Oh, darlin' don't you run me down Oh, darlin' don't you run me down Yea, don't you run me down, darlin' It's not polite in public, public Down here in front of Abraham and his brother I was a W now, I'm an L Something wrong with my playin' drums He was right
