You can put a stick in my spokesnI can be the butt of your jokesnI can be the laughing stock, I can be your hoaxnBut I ain't gonna lose younnThey can come and tear my house downnThey can run me out of townnThey can tie me up, call me a clownnBut I ain't gonna lose younnI can't standnThe thought of another mannnThey can make me turn my back on my friendsnSend me away to up in San QuentinnPut me in the hole, a thousand times againnBut I ain't gonna lose younnThrow me in a hurricanenTell the whole world I've gone insanenRun an electric shock to my brainnBut I ain't gonna lose younnI can't standnThe thought of another mannnI'll sing it from my roof topnI'll sing it from the bus stopnI'll sing it on the street drunk to a copnBut I ain't gonna lose you
