Description
There's many different versions of this song. Musically, they're all the same, but they're different lengths and the lyrics are slightly different. Out of these, the Golden Feelings version is the longest, the Harvest Field version is the most polished, the Beck, Like The Beer version has 2 versions, one where Beck plays 1 verse, but then remembers there's a second, where he starts over. The Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape version is the oldest. The song is clearly inspired from Mississippi John Hurt, Beck's favorite blues musician. Beck must've liked the song to put it on so much releases.

Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape version
Tell my baby I'm alright now

Tell my baby I'm gettin' home

She doesn't need me, I don't need me

Who's gonna need me, mmm?

Somebody crying, somebody's changing

Somebody's staying just the same

She doesn't live here, I don't live here

Who's gonna live here? I don't know

I'm a stranger, I don't know her

I'm gettin' stranger on my way

She doesn't need me, I don't need me

Who's gonna need me?
