Look Sharp Lyrics


Joe Jackson Look Sharp

Big shot, tell you what tell me what goes on around in here
Go on and get me in the corner
Smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer

Tell me that this world is no place for the weak
Then you can look me in the eye
And tell me if you see a trace of fear

You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder

Okay what you say tell me what they're wearing this year
Go on and laugh at me 'cause you don't see
That I got something going right here

Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid
Well ace, shut your face
Maybe you will see or hear

You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder

Big shot, thanks a lot gotta go it's getting late
I got a date with my tailor now
Thanks for putting me so straight

Tell me how they run the crime down every street
But check your watch and wallet now
Before I go and you're too late

You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp
And you gotta have no illusions
Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
