You see how easily they nod to me?

You been given’ me the willies the way you walk

I’m responsible for you

I’m just afraid if it don’t turn out good you’ll be mad at me

I want to be an American

And with that wacky hair; he’s like a chorus girl or sump’m

Are you gonna stand over her ‘till your forty?

You don’t like him?

Look, he’ll say anything. What does he care what he says?

I struggled for that girl

But I can’t stay in the house all the time

My heart dies to look at you

Don’t laugh at me, I’ve been here all my life

Her mother will turn over in her grave

I want my respect and you know what I’m talking about.
