Regina Spektor, The Strokes - Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men lyrics

[Regina Spektor, The Strokes - Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men lyrics]

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?
Right? Right? Right? I don't belong

Why you gotta say it if
You know it's sounding wrong?
(Why you sitting over there?)
Says that he'll apologize and it
Won't take too long
Well, you don't wanna trust nobody else
(Always thinking 'bout yourself)

(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? Right?
Right? Right? Right? I don't belong

I don't want the imprint of
Your key upon my nose
(Why you sitting over there?)
You don't have to tell no one
'cause no one wants to know
Well, you don't have no happiness at home
(Always thinking 'bout yourself)

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
(Yes, we're falling down)
Oh, yes, we're falling down
Oh, yes, we're falling down
Oh, yes, we're falling down
So fuckin' help me up

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) was I?
