Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Too Low For ZeroYou're cruel, you doYou do, you do me wrongYou hurt me, you flirt withAny old face that comes alongBut I won't be your whipping boyNo I won't be your whipping boyBreak me like a little toyRun me till my feet are soreBut I won't be your whipping boyYou're wild, you're slyWhat you done to meI was thirty, I look like fiftyBut I feel like sixty threeIt's this illegal kind of lovingThat keeps my motor runningFrom the start to the finish lineIt's a trashy kind of me that likes to believeThat I'm still trying, I'm still tryingI'm still trying, yes I'm tryingYou're dirty, but you're worth itBut you're way, you're way too youngI could do time if they found outLook out, San Quentin here I come
