Lyrics
It's just somethin' people say, they don't really feel that way Prep-school gangsters make the call, as the summer turns to fall I was tired but wakin' up, I was dying to test my luck Prep-school gangsters barred the way, there was nothin' I could say Call me jealous, call me mad, now I've got the thing you had Somewhere in your family tree, there was someone just like me I was only walkin' by, didn't mean to catch your eye It's just somethin' people say, you could lose some teeth that way Call it business, call it war, cutting class through revolvin' doors Yours was better, mine was worse, 'til it took on the fifth-gen curse Call me jealous, call me mad, now I've got the thing you had Somewhere in your family tree, there was someone just like me Me, ooh, ooh Ah-ah-ah, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh It's just somethin' people say, it's just somethin' people say It's just somethin' people say, it's just somethin' people say It's just somethin' people say
