[Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ He's a funny thing.
Am I still too [G] young?

Standing right through the bedroom [F] window.
She finds a slinky back of rum.
He calls her St.
Louis' the Ford Mustang.
Pimpin' for [G] bitches, takin' the pain.
[C] Put the feet in the stride, hope for [Dm] nothing.
[F] He scissor step and cuts his hand.
Showing nothing, it's looks like a stone [Dm] surprise.

[D] _ Have you been on [Em] America?
Just [G] you and your idle civil set to about.
Leather, leather everywhere.
[A] Not a miss left from [D] the ghetto.
Well, well, well, what you [G] been sayin'?
Everything's just in case of depression.
Sit on your hands on the buses for [Em] drivers.
Blushing and [A] foamy, afro [D] shielders.
Ain't that ghost of love?
[G] Well, ain't that ghost of love?
Well, it ain't that barbed door.
Hearts feel [A] broken just like [G] you have.
_ _ _ [A] _ All right.
He wants a young [D] American.
_ _ [G] Young American.
He wants a young American. All right.
He _ _ [Em] [A] wants a young [D] American.
You ain't a pimp, you ain't a [Em] horse.
A pimp's got a cow and a lady got a [G] Christ.
Black's got a stacker, white's got a soldier.
[A] Mama's got a grandson, look [D] at your handshake.
_ _ _ [Em] You got a sweet ass, you got a [G] beard.
Is there a man who can save them [Em] all?
Is [A] there a woman I can suck on the door?
[D] Is there a child I can whip like a [G] juggler?
Is there a man I can write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you stuck out cases?
[Em] Ain't there one damn song [F] that can make me
break down and cry?
_ _ _ [G]
