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

Its in the front room closet
Find it with its pockets on the inside
Big enough to hold my shame
And I put the thing around my shoulders
Suddenly I'm looking like I did not come to play
Cuz 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
Oohaa, denim jacket

Now I'm on the patio, listening to an old friend who is 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?
I say listen to the way you're talking
Nobody else feels that way
Now go read something if you think that you're so smart

I was anxious didn't know how to act
Socially speaking, I had lost my tact
He thinks it's funny when he talks like that
I hit 'em with that bulletproof denim jacket
Oohaa, denim jacket
I was anxious didn't know how to act, no no no no no
Socially speaking I had lost my tact
I feel the hot heat coming like a heart attack, good thing
I got my fireproof denim jacket. Oohaa

See I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher
When I think I'm doing more than enough
You gotta tell me that its never enough
I think I'm doing more than enough
But you say that its never enough
But I got it, denim jacket
I am under pressure but I ain't been never fresher

Now I'm on the way back home
Walking to the beat
I can 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 straight up and tall
Call me by my first name or you call me nothing at all
Cuz we ain't nothing at all

I was anxious 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 by bullet proof denim jack
Oohaa denim jacket
Anxious don't know how to act
I'm getting nervous baby I'm thinking about turning back
You think its funny when you talk like that
But I got a fool proof denim jacket
