Don't Shuffle Me Back (Feat. The Persuasions) Lyrics
Barenaked Ladies
Once upon a time everything was fine
Now I feel like I'm at the back of the line
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck
Hey where did you go?
Was I too fast or slow?
Am I just somebody that you used to know?
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck
When I'm feeling blue, I pick up a shoe,
Pretend it's a telephone, and that I'm talking to you.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
'Cause the doctor calls, the lawyer calls,
But you don't call me, no, you don't call me anymore.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
I heard you got a Rat-tat-tat tattoo on your back
Someone told me about that.
I want to get us back on track,
Don't treat me like me that
Don't tease me like that.
At the Dollarama, with the Dalai Lama,
You can buy cards, but you can't buy good Karma.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
The doctor calls, the lawyer calls
But you don't call me, no you don't call me anymore.
Now I feel like I'm at the back of the line
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck
Hey where did you go?
Was I too fast or slow?
Am I just somebody that you used to know?
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck
When I'm feeling blue, I pick up a shoe,
Pretend it's a telephone, and that I'm talking to you.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
'Cause the doctor calls, the lawyer calls,
But you don't call me, no, you don't call me anymore.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
I heard you got a Rat-tat-tat tattoo on your back
Someone told me about that.
I want to get us back on track,
Don't treat me like me that
Don't tease me like that.
At the Dollarama, with the Dalai Lama,
You can buy cards, but you can't buy good Karma.
Don't shuffle me back to the bottom of the deck.
The doctor calls, the lawyer calls
But you don't call me, no you don't call me anymore.
