[00:10.01]A old man gave me a tip he said
[00:12.63]\"Don\'t waste your time with politics\" he said
[00:16.25]\"Just chase skirts instead\"
[00:20.64]\"Life is too short, and you\'re almost dead\" he said
[00:26.68]\"I met a woman once, I gave her my best shot\"
[00:33.13]\"But never did I talk and talk and talk\"
[00:37.16]\"If I had her back, I\'d be as real as my age\"
[00:43.79]\"I so don\'t blame them, I wouldn\'t do the same\"
[00:55.46]\"But I can blame them, I\'d sing her this\"
