Verse 1 (continue w/intro riff):

        You got your head on backwards, baby, you don't know where you're at
        Got your head on backwards, baby, watch out or you'll fall flat
        Yeah, instead of sayin' "hi" to the people that you meet
                                               [N.C.]
        You oughta say "goodbye" as you're walkin' down the street

Chorus:

                      C7
        You got your head on backwards, baby
                                   G7
        And you're gonna hit the ground, yeah
                        D7
        Well, when you finally fall down, baby
        C7                   G7      D7
        I don't want to be around

[harmonica solo over intro riff, 6X]

Verse 2:

        Well, people been askin' me what's wrong with you
        Uh, they can't understand all them crazy things you do
        I got something to say and I'm sayin' it out loud
        You better shape up, baby, and get down off of your cloud

[repeat chorus]

[harmonica solo over intro riff, 8X]

Verse 3:

        Well, you sure look funny, girl, you're sure lookin' strange
        You can't stay this way, no, you just gotta change
        The way you're walkin', talkin', it ain't lookin' right
        The way that you been actin' is too far out of sight

Coda (rant to fade over intro riff):

        Yeah, baby, you got your head on backwards... yeah
        You don't know what's happenin', uh-uh
        Man, you're wrong... you're dead wrong, you know why
        'Cause your head's on backwards...
