I’m From The Old School Lyrics by Johnnie Taylor

Gotta Get the Groove Back

1999

Hey, I’ve been around and I’m cool (huh)
But I won’t be nobody’s fool
I know right and I know wrong
Before I be a fool girl, I’ll just leave it alone
But ‘cha see I ain’t fattening no frogs for no snakes
I ain't gonna give you every dime I make
But I'll put some money in your pocketbook
So you can go to the mall and shop, shop and look
But I from the old school
Oh I won’t be I won’t be nobody’s fool
I’m from the old school, but I just won’t be no fool for you
Tell all your friends and your Mama too
They don't have to worry about the things that we do
Cause I’m treating you good and I’m treating you right
But if you want to run around, get it out of my sight
I've had some good times right along with the blues
It’s a damn shame what the bluеs will make you do
But I’m letting you know, right from the start
Bеlieve? one thing about breaking my heart (no)
Treat me coo, hey baby, oh yeah..
Whenever the grass over there get greener
Ppl gonna stop asking Hey Johnnie have you see her ?
Baby please don’t let the green grass fool you
Ain’t no doubt in my mind
I’m only trynna school you
I’m from the old school, but I won’t be no fool for you
I’m from the old school, yeah I been a fool before
But I won’t be your fool no more
I’m from the old school girl, but I won’t be no fool for you
I’m from the old school, I been a fool before
But I won’t be no fool you no more
I know you’re a young girl
And you gotta lot of things on your mind
But I’m still from the old school
Let me tell you what a low down will do?
I’m from the old school baby
And I won’t be no fool for you girl
I’m from the old school
I ain’t gonna try to keep you up all night long
I’m from the old school baby
When I tell you I had … (fades)
