Can You Tell Me Why (A.K.A. Legal Fee Blues)

Someone came out of the blue

And they said "I'm gonna be representing you"

Oh my, can you tell me why?

Well I said I didn't need anybody

But they came on strong

What i say they just carried on and on

Won't somebody tell me

'Cos I don't underatand

'Bout paying these legal fees

When I'm an innocent man

I guess these people need me

More than I need them

I feel like I have been condemned

I've been a good man

I ain't never done no wrong

Oh not I, I just roll along

Well I'm an innocent man

Can you hear my plea

Can you tell me

I have to pay all these legal fees

How long Lord oh how long

As far as I can see

It's never gonna end

Don't let them take it all

Just leave me some money to spend

Someone came out of the blue

Said "I'm gonna be representing you"

Oh my, can you tell me why?
