Lyrics
I can't walk the streets, now, to consolate my mind.
Some pretty mama, she starts breaking down...
Stop breaking down! A-stop breaking down.
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out.
Well, it'll make you lose your mind.
You Saturday night women, you love to ape and clown.
You won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down,
Stop breaking down! A-stop breaking down.
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out.
Well, it'll make you lose your mind.
I gave my baby the ninety-nine degree.
She jumped up, a-throwed a pistol down on me.
Stop breaking down. A-stop breaking down.
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out.
Yeah, it'll make you lose your mind.
