Berlin Irving You Can`t Brush Me Off Lyrics

You Can`t Brush Me Off Lyrics

Why don't you just give in?
Just like a Siamese twin 
I mean to stick to you
Until you do
I won't take it on the chin
You'll never leave me flat
I'm not a "last year's hat" 
That you can cast aside
I've got my pride
And I won't stand for that

You can't brush me off 
As you would a speck of powder, you may try
But you can't brush me off

You can't shout me down
You can yell but I'll yell louder, you can try
But you can't brush me off

You can say you're out but I'll keep phoning
You can tell me goodbye
You can tell me but I
Won't go
No

You can't leave me cold
As you would a plate of chowder, you may try
But you can't brush me off


[2]
What is this all about?
You've got me wrong, no doubt
I give you all my time
Believe me, I'm
Not looking for some way out
I want you for my wife
Sharing my care and strife
And that may not be fun
For when it's done
You're stuck with me for life

You can't brush me off 
As you would a fresh mosquito, you may try
But you can't brush me off

You can't rub me out
Like a spot on my tuxedo, you may try
But you can't brush me off

You can cut me dead but I won't mind it
You may injure my pride
Still I'll never decide 
To go
No

You can't drop me fast
As you would a live torpedo, you may try
But you can't brush me off

[3]
You can't brush me off
Like a colored pullman porter, you may try
But you can't brush me off

You can't lock me out
Like a frightened farmer's daughter, you may try
But you can't brush me off

You can drop a hint but I won't take it
You can tell me bad news
I intend to refuse
To go
No

You can't give me back
As you would a leaded quarter, you may try
But you can't brush me off
