Brother, can you call me by my name?
Sister, can you look at me the same?
Mama, I’ll never be that strong.
You’ve always had the answers. Tell me where did I go wrong.
AAin’t no preacher gonna mCove my head.
ADin’t no talkin’ gonna raise the dAead.
TCake your words to tDown,
BGut don’t hand me dAown.
Tell me people, is there somethin’ wrong with change?
Can you tell me, baby, that you love me just the same?
Wake up. ‘Cause there’s more to life than sin.
Go ahead and try to fool me. There’s a fool behind your grin.
DGon’t hand me dAown.
NCo, I might not be a sDaint.
Don’t drag me ‘round.
‘Cause pitiful I ain’t.
Don’t hand me down.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ain’t no talkin’ gonna move my head.
Got two hands to make my bed.
Take your words to town,
But don’t hand me down.
Don’t hand me down.
No, I might not be a saint.
Don’t drag me ‘round.
‘Cause pitiful I ain’t.
Don’t hand me down.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ain’t no talkin’ gonna move my head.
Got two hands to make my bed.
Take your words to town,
But don’t hand me down.
