Whippin’ Post Songtext
von Frank Zappa

-------------------------

I been run down
Lord, I been lied to
And I don′t know why
I let that mean woman make out a fool

She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,
Drinkin′ in some cross-town bar


Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I′m dyin′

My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
But I got to stand there an' take it
All for loving you

Drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you done
Nothin′ seems to change;
That bad times stay the same,
And I can't run


Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin′ post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I′m dyin'
