I'm at the after party, everybody's talking over me, everybody's talking fast and loud

I figure maybe if I get my jacket, step outside and get myself some air then I could share myself more fully with the crowd

It's in the front room closet, you find it with its pockets on the inside big enough to hold my sham

And I put the thing around my shoulders, suddenly it's looking like I did not come to play

I already won the game

I was anxious, didn't know how to act

Socially speaking, I had lost my tact

Nobody gave me no time to react

Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket

Now I'm on the patio, listening to an old friend, she was crying on some man who never loved her right

I say, 'Why don't you just do it for him? Write it in a get-well-soon card, break it off real easy ain't no need to start a fight'

Somebody shouted over, 'Why you always look that way and sound the way you do and why you try so hard?'

'Listen to the way you're talking. Nobody else feels that way, and go read something somewhere if you think that you're so smart.'

Cuz you're anxious, don't know how to act, do ya now?

Socially speaking, you have lost your tact

You think it's funny when you talk like that

Oh but I got a fool proof denim jacket

I was anxious, didn't know how to act, no no no, no no, no no

Now I would say I had lost my tact

I feel the hot heat coming like a heart attack

I got my fire proof denim jacket

I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher

And I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher

I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher

I am under pressure, but I ain't never fresher

When I think I'm doing more than enough you gotta tell me that it's never enough

I think I'm doing more than enough but you say that it's never enough

But I got it, denim jacket

And I am under pressure but I ain't been never fresher

I'm on the way back home

I'm walking to the beat, I could feel the street below my feet

I can smell the air so clear

Now Papasito doesn't make no sense

Leaning up against the fence and he's calling out something his mama wouldn't wanna hear

Said, 'Turn around now love. And I can call you love because I love the way you walk away all straight up and tall.'

Oh call me by my first name or you call me nothing at all, cuz we ain't nothing at all (nothing at all)

I was anxious, I didn't know how to act

I would say that I had lost my tact

Nobody gave me no time to react

Good thing I had my bulletproof denim jacket

Denim jacket...

I was anxious, don't know how to act

I'm getting nervous, baby, I'm thinking about turning back

You think it's funny when you talk like that

Now I got a fool proof denim jacket
