Capo 1
AI got great big blisters on my bloodshot eyes from lookin'
At that Along legged Ewoman up aAhead
AWhat she does simply walkin' down the sidewalks of that city
Makes me Athink about a Estray cat gettin' Afed
She's got a Dwhole lotta motion in her soul I know
But her Asoul ain't the place she lets it Eshow
EShe got a body, oh yeah, she got a motion, oh yeah,
ELord I'm blistered, oh yeah
She done tore my soul aApart put big Dblisters on my heart
What a Emighty crazy crooked way to Ago
I got great big blisters on my fingertips from reachin'
In my pocketbook and pickin' out the bills
And I got tiny white blisters in my throat from tryin'
To ease my nervous tension takin' all them happy pills
And ever since she started runnin' round from bar to bar
I just can't eat a bite or keep my stomach settled down
Chorus twice
