[VERSE]
Em
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
D Em
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Em
Music loud and women warm
D Em
I've been kicked around since I was born
A
But now it's all right, that's okay
A
You may look the other way
A
We can try to understand
A
The New York Times' effect on man

A
You know, it's all right, it's okay
