What Have They Done to My Song, Ma? Songtext

von Nina Simone

Look what they've done to my song, ma.
Look what they've done to my song.
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right, and it's turnin 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 that 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 to come out and look at what they've done to my song.

But maybe it'll all be alright, ma,
Maybe it'll all be ok.
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'm gonna be a rich girl someday, ma
Look what they've done to my song.

Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson.
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé 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.
Look what they've done to my song, ma
Look what they've done to my song.
It's the only thing I could do alright
And they turned it upside down
Look what they've done to my song.
