Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, check me
[Verse 1]
When I look in the mirror (Woo!)
I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that funky dude
Staring back at me?
Broken, beaten down, can't even get around
Without an old man cane, I'd fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone (Woo!)
[Verse 2]
Excuse the bitchin'
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
'Cause feeling is pain
As 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 an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[PostChorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Verse 3]
Screw this crap, I've had it (I've had it)
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
So 'scuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea
(Hear me?) Hear me? I want sugar in my tea
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[PostChorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Bridge]
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
[PostChorus]
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
