(yeah, check me)
when i look in the mirror
i can't believe what i see
tell me who's that funky dude
starin' back at me

G              G  D    D
folking bitten down

Am                  Am  Em    Em
can't even get around

G                   G      D    D
without an old man cane

Am           Am    Em       Em
fall and hit the ground

G              G    D    D
shivering in the cold

Am     Am   B
bitter and alone

(Intro chords twice)
(verse)
excuse the bitching
i shouldn't complain
i should have no feeling
'cause feeling is pain

'cause everything i need
is denied me
and everything i want
is taken away from me
but who do i got to blame
nobody but me

Chorus

and i don't wanna be a old man anymore

it's been a year or two since i was out on the floor

           D                    Am                    D                  
            
shakin' booty making sweet love all the night

D                 G                        Em
it's time i got back to the good life
it's time i got back
it's time i got back

(verse)
screw this crap i've had it (i've had it)
i ain't no mr. cool

i ain't gonna hurt nobody

justly to admit i want sugar in my tea
hear me (hear me) i want sugar in my tea

(Chorus)
and i don't wanna be a old man anymore
it's been a year or two since i was out on the floor
shakin' booty making sweet love all the night

it's time i got back
it's time i got back
