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 aint never fresher. x4

When I think Im doing more than enough you gotta tell me that its never enough. I think Im doing more than enough but you say that its never enough but I got it, denim jacket, I am under pressure but I aint been never fresher.

Now Im 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 aint 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 Im thinking about turning back.
You think its funny when you talk like that.
But I got a fool proof denim jacket.
