John Wesley Harding You In Spite Of Yourself Lyrics

You In Spite Of Yourself Lyrics

What have they done to you darling?

What did you let them do?

Cos I can't believe they'd get that far

Without some assistance from you     

Did you offer scant resistance

When the black light turned to blue?

Was it everything you dreamed of?

Did you think you'd still be you

In spite of yourself?

     

What have they done to you, darling?

How'd they get away with that?

When you saw their funny mouse suits

Did you know that they were rats?

And I think, I know, I'm sure you were    

Aware of every ruse

You've even changed your name

Maybe that's why you're confused

In spite of yourself



Through a crack in your disguise    

Your eye is peeping through 

And it's like sunlight through the curtains



What have they done to you, darling?

Who are they anyway?

Give us their addresses   

We'll hear what they have to say

We revile the things we hate

But give credit where it's due

And you've had a big fakeover

It could be a big improvement    

But I guess that you're still you

You in spite of yourself
