Lyrics of Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men - Reptilia B-Side by The Strokes
verse
(You were right) modern girls always have to go
(Right on time) old-fashioned men always want a mistress
(You were right) modern girls always get their way
(I was wrong) modern men dream of what they can't say
(That's alright) right, right, ri-ri-right?
I don't belong
chorus
(Why're you sitting over there?) Why you gotta say it if you know it's something wrong?
Says that he'll apologize and it won't take too long
(Always thinking 'bout yourself) well, you don't wanna trust nobody else
verse
(Time) there's a few things that are gonna have to change
(I'm your son) everyone has the same opinion
(Won't you, please?) Your time is almost over
(Don't be mean) we won't get the chance to do this over
(That's alright) right, ri-ri-ri-right?
I don't belong
chorus
(Why're you sitting over there?) I don't want the imprint of your key upon my nose
You don't have to tell no one 'cause no one wants to know
(Always thinking 'bout yourself) that you don't have no happiness at all
bridge
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
So fucking help me up
verse
Always thinking 'bout yourself (you don't love me)
Always thinking 'bout yourself (I am an animal)
Always thinking 'bout yourself (I am not practical)
outro
Was I?
Writer(s): Julian Casablancas
