Cat Power
(jagger/richards)
When Im drivin in my car
And the man come on the radio
Hes tellin me more and more
About some useless information
Tryin mess my imagination
When Im watchin my tv
And a man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he cant be a man cause he doesnt smoke
The same cigarettes as me
When Im ridin around the globe
And Im doin this and Im signin that
And Im tryin to make some boy
Baby, baby, baby, come back
cause you see Im on a losing streak
When Im ridin a round the globe
And Im doin this and Im signin that
And Im tryin
And Im tryin
