Am Em
Its a cold night, beneath the street light, theres a man whose pants are too tight.
Dm E7
Oh no, his pants are too tight.
My pants are too tight.
Am Em
He stands there, and empty stare, trying to make enough money for his cab fare home.
Dm E7
He'll have to walk home tonight.
Don't have enough for the ride.
Am Em
The streets are cruel, he tries to act cool, he goes to work with only his work tool.
Dm E7
You can put away your tool, Jermaine.

Oh no, they don't think he's worth it at all.

Don't think I know when, he tries to bring them home, maybe that would be a way if he lived alone.
Dm E7
Oh, you have a roommate Jemaine, don't bring them home.
