Look what they've done to my song, ma Look what they've done to my song Well it's the only thing I could do half right And it's turning out all wrong, ma Look what they've done to my song Look what they've done to my brain, ma Look what they've done to my brain Well they picked it like a chicken bone And I think I'm half insane, ma Look what they've done to my song I wish I could find a good book to live in Wish I could find a good book Well, if I could find a real good book I'd never have to come out and look at What they've done to my song La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la... Look what they've done to my song But maybe it will be all right, ma Maybe it will all be ok Well, if the people are buying tears I'll be rich some day, ma Look what they've done to my song Ils ont change ma chanson, ma Ils ont change ma chanson C'est la seule chose que je peux faire Et ce n'est pas bon, ma Ils ont change ma chanson Look what they've done to my song, ma Look what they've done to my song, ma Well they tied it up in a plastic bag And turned it upside down, ma Look what they've done to my song Ils ont change ma chanson, ma Ils ont change ma chanson C'est la seule chose que je peux faire Et ce n'est pas bon, ma Ils ont change ma chanson Look what they've done to my song, ma, ma Look what they've done to my song It's the only thing I could do all right And they turned it upside down, oh no Look what they've done to my song.
