Lou Reed - My Old Man Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When I was a young boy in brooklyn
  • Going to public school
  • During recess in the concrete playground
  • They lined us up by twos
  • In alphabetical order, reagan, reed and russo
  • I still remember the names
  • And stickball and stoopball were the only games
  • That we played
  • And I wanted to be like my old man
  • I, I wanted to grow up just like my old man
  • I wanted to be like my old man
  • I wanted to dress like, I wanted to be just like
  • I wanted to act like my old man
  • I wanted to be like, I wanted to act like
  • I wanted to be just like my old man
  • And then like everyone else I started to grow
  • And I didnt want to be like my father anymore
  • I was sick of his bullying
  • And having to hide under a desk on the floor
  • And when he beat my mother
  • It made me so mad I could choke
  • And I didnt want to be like my old man
  • I, I didnt even want to look like my old man
  • I didnt even want to seem like my old man
  • A son watches his father, being cruel to his mother
  • And makes a vow to return only when
  • He is so much richer, in every way so much bigger that -
  • - the old man will never hit anyone again
  • Like my old man (just like my old man)
  • Like my old man
  • Like my old man (just like my old man)
  • Like my old man
  • And can you believe what he said to me
  • He said, lou, act like a man (walk like a man)
  • Why dont you act just like a man
  • Act like your daddy, act like a man (just like my old man)
  • Oh, why dont you act just like a man
  • Like your old man (walk like a man)
  • (just like my old man)
  • (just like my old man)
