The Good Life

(album: Pinkerton - 1996)

Yeah, check me
Woo!

When I look in the mirror, I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that funky dude staring back at me?

Broken, beaten down (down), can't even get around
Without an old man cane, I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone (woo!)

Excuse the bitching, I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling, 'cause feeling is pain

As everything I need is denied me
And everything I want is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life

It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!

Screw this crap, I've had it! (I've had it!) I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog, so 'scuse me if I drool

I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
Hear me? Hear me? I want sugar in my tea!

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life

It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!

I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah

And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life

It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
