Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
D Em
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Em
Music loud and women warm
D Em
I've been kicked around since I was born
[Pre-Chorus]

But now it's all right, that's okay
A
You may look the other way

We can try to understand
A
The New York Times' effect on man
[Chorus]

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
Em
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

You know, it's all right, it's okay

I'll live to see another day

The New York Times' effect on man
