"Denim Jacket" lyrics
I'm at the after party, everybody's talking over me, everybody's talking fast and loud
I figure maybe if I get my jacket, step outside and get myself some air then I could share myself more fully with the crowd
It's in the front room closet, you find it with its pockets on the inside big enough to hold my sham
And I put the thing around my shoulders, suddenly it's looking like I did not come to play
I already won the game
I was anxious, didn't know how to act
Socially speaking, I had lost my tact
Nobody gave me no time to react
Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket
Now I'm on the patio, listening to an old friend, she was crying on some man who never loved her right
I say, 'Why don't you just do it for him? Write it in a get-well-soon card, break it off real easy ain't no need to start a fight'
Somebody shouted over, 'Why you always look that way and sound the way you do and why you try so hard?'
'Listen to the way you're talking. Nobody else feels that way, and go read something somewhere if you think that you're so smart.'
Cuz you're anxious, don't know how to act, do ya now?
Socially speaking, you have lost your tact
You think it's funny when you talk like that
Oh but I got a fool proof denim jacket
I was anxious, didn't know how to act, no no no, no no, no no
Now I would say I had lost my tact
I feel the hot heat coming like a heart attack
I got my fire proof denim jacket
I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
And I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
When I think I'm doing more than enough you gotta tell me that it's never enough
I think I'm doing more than enough but you say that it's never enough
But I got it, denim jacket
And I am under pressure but I ain't been never fresher
I'm on the way back home
I'm walking to the beat, I could feel the street below my feet
I can smell the air so clear
Now Papasito doesn't make no sense
Leaning up against the fence and he's calling out something his mama wouldn't wanna hear
Said, 'Turn around now love. And I can call you love because I love the way you walk away all straight up and tall.'
Oh call me by my first name or you call me nothing at all, cuz we ain't nothing at all (nothing at all)
I was anxious, I didn't know how to act
I would say that I had lost my tact
Nobody gave me no time to react
Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket
Denim jacket...
I was anxious, don't know how to act
I'm getting nervous, baby, I'm thinking about turning back
You think it's funny when you talk like that
Now I got a fool proof denim jacket
I figure maybe if I get my jacket, step outside and get myself some air then I could share myself more fully with the crowd
It's in the front room closet, you find it with its pockets on the inside big enough to hold my sham
And I put the thing around my shoulders, suddenly it's looking like I did not come to play
I already won the game
I was anxious, didn't know how to act
Socially speaking, I had lost my tact
Nobody gave me no time to react
Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket
