I was born without a daddy
And the gutter was my home
And when Mama died
The only thing she left me was alone
There ain’t nothing in the world
That I ain’t fool enough to try
I’m hard to hurt and too
Damn mean to die
Chorus:
I wash my face in funky water
Pick my teeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your dishes and daughters
Anything that might get broke
I prefer your condemnation
To your sucking sympathy
Darlin’ good for nothing
Is good enough for me
I said I don’t need nobody, girl
I get by by myself
And you sure don’t need me more
Than you don’t need nobody else
‘Cause unless you want a hurting place
Where your heart used to be
Darlin’ you don’t want no part of me
** Repeat Chorus
