Willie Nelson - What Can You Do To Me Now Lyrics






What can you do to me now
That you haven't done to me already
You broke my pride and made me cry out loud
What can you do to me now

I'm seeing things that I never thought I'd see
You've opened up the eyes inside of me
How long have you been doing this to me
I'm seeing sides of me that I can't believe
Someway somehow I'll make a man of me
I will build me back the way I used to be
Much stronger now the second time around cause
What can you do to me now
What can you do to me now...

    I wish I could dig up and post the "interview" about this song, but in a nutshell, when asked about this song, Willie said, to the best of my memory....And I'm gonna paraphrase:

    "We were on tour, and I wrote a song for my soon to be ex-wife.
    I got back home, and as I was pulling up, I saw my whole house going up in flames. Some kind of accident, no one to blame, but I lost everything that my soon to be ex-wife hadn't already taken...(insert a Willie smile here as he told the tale)...And he continued...."So I looked up to the sky and sang 'What MORE can you do to me now?"

    Bottom line?...This song began as a question to his soon to be ex-wife...But became, to him, a question to Spirit, as Willie smiled and continued on with what Spirit wanted him to do, regardless of obstacles...

    ....Just my 2 cents regarding a little Willie memory that came floating in tonight:-)

    +Robert Gustafson..........Thank you Robert for sharing your "Willie Memory" with us!! :) I so appreciate that you took the time to write it! All I remember are these words: “Hank Cochran and I used to write some together,” he said. “I remember one night in particular we were writing at my house out in Ridgetop [a community located north of Nashville], and we wrote seven songs that night. The last song that we wrote was ‘What Can You Do to Me Now,’ and the next day my house burned.” Thanks again Robert....

    Thank you Hoss!! Willie's battered old Martin had no pick guard and what a blessing that has been!! Over the years it produced such a distinctive sound with the gaping hole and it became Willie's trademark!! Willie once said "When Trigger goes, I'll quit!!!! Hope that is at least a couple more years from now!!!!
