Song lyrics
You, were (You, were) 

Modern girls always have to go (right, one time)
Old fashioned man, always wanna mistress (you were right)
Modern girls always get their way (I was wrong)
Modern men dream of what they can’t say (that’s alright)
Right - right right right right…
I don’t belong (I don’t belong)

Why you gotta say it if you know it’s something wrong 
(why do you say it like that)
Says that he will ‘pologize and it won’t take too long
Well you don’t wanna trust nobody else 
(only thinking bout yourself)

(Time)
Well if you think that it might have to change
(on your side)
Everyone, has the same opinion (wont you please)
Your time is almost over (don’t be mean)
We won’t get the chance to do this over (That’s alright)
Right? - Right right right right (Right right right right)
I don’t belong (I don’t belong)

I don’t want the imprint of your C upon my nose 
(how are you over this now)
He don’t have to tell no one cuz no one wants to know
Well you don’t have no happiness at all, oh 
(well you don’t want no happiness your sad)

Shhh…

Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)

Yes were fallin down (down)

Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down (Oh yes were fallin down)
Oh yes were fallin down! (Oh yes were fallin down!)
So fuckin help me up (So fuckin help me up)

Always thinking bout yourself (you get the only)
Always thinking bout yourself (you aren’t the only one)
Always thinking bout yourself (you will have to go)

Was, I…?  (Was, I…?)

Really really great Strokes song. I had heard so much about them, so I decide to download a song or two to see if any of their albums were worth it. I was downloading random songs of theirs and thank god I downloaded this one! It was my first Strokes song and I fell in love with it immediately. I bought both of the albums, but this isn't on there. Is it available as a single or anything?

This song is available on the Reptilia single. The live version you can find on Kazaa is much better though.. except that Julia screws up the lyrics a little bit. The real lyrics are printed in the Reptilia single.

And that one verse goes:

"I dont want the imprint of your key upon my nose
We can keep it secret, darling, no one has to know
That you don't have no happiness at home."

I love this song! It resembles a song from the 50's or something. I just love Julian's voice in this one. The Strokes are the best..
