The Strokes
Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men
[Verse 1: Julian Casablancas, Regina Spektor, Both]
You were
(Right) Modern girls always have to go
(Right on time) Old-fashioned men always want a 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

[Chorus: Julian Casablancas & Regina Spektor]
Why you gotta say it if you know it's sounding wrong?
(Why you sitting over there?)
Says that he'll apologize and it won't take too long
Well, you don't wanna trust nobody else
(Always thinking 'bout yourself)

[Verse 2: Julian Casablancas, Regina Spektor, Both]
(Time) There's a few things that are gonna have to change
(I'm your son) Everyone has the same opinion
(Won't 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?
I don't belong

[Chorus: Julian Casablancas & Regina Spektor]
I don't want the imprint of your key upon my nose
(Why you sitting over there?)
You don't have to tell no one 'cause no one wants to know
Well, you don't have no happiness at home
(Always thinking 'bout yourself)
[Bridge: Julian Casablancas, Regina Spektor, Both]
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down (Yes, we're falling down)
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
Oh yes, we're falling down
So fuckin' help me up

[Outro: Julian Casablancas, Regina Spektor, Both]
Always thinking 'bout yourself (You don't love me)
Always thinking 'bout yourself (I am an animal)
Always thinking 'bout yourself (I am not practical)
Was I?
