when i look in the mirror
i can't believe what i see
tell me who's that funky dude
starin' back at me
folking bitten down

without an old man cane
fall and hit the ground
shivering in the cold
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
shakin' booty making sweet love all the night

when i'm stable long enough
(F#m)
i start to look around for love
see us reaching for a prince
my mind begins the orange mess
but when i start to feel that pull
turns out I just pulled myself
she would never go with me
we're not all that's good on earth
i'm dumb she's a lesbian
i thought i had found the one
we were good as married in my mind
but married in my mind's no good
pink triangle on her sleeve
let me know the truth
let me know the truth
might of smoked a few in my time
would never thought it was a crime
knew the day would surely come
when i'd chill and settle down
when i think i've found a good old fashioned girl
then she put me in my place
everyone's a little queer
oh, can't she be a little straight
i'm dumb she's a lesbian
i thought i had found the one
we were good as married in my mind
but married in my mind's no good
pink triangle on her sleeve
let me know the truth
