| Uh-huh, | life's like this |
| Dm | Bb | F | C | |
| Uh-huh, uh-huh | that's the way it is | (repeat intro) |
| F | |
| Chill out, what you yellin' for? |
| Dm | |
| Lay back, it's all been done before |

| I like you the way you are |

| Dressed up like you're something else |
| Where you are and where you sat, you see, you're making me |
| Laugh out when you strike a pose |
| Take off all your preppy clothes |
| You know you're not fooling anyone when you become |
