Looking Out for Mister D

 

You see him everywhere these days

flashing that dazzling Mister D smile

fixing up famous, rolling up jays

still slicking down that Mister D style

I don’t know what’s become of me

I’m looking out

looking out

looking out for Mister D

 

Didn’t I catch you making the news

taking a hard line every last time

how come you always get to choose

casually raking up every last dime

never been broken, nothing’s for free

so I’m looking out

looking out

looking out for Mister D

 

Ladies in linen, babies in black

the sins of the flesh are bred in the bone

balling up everything, balling the jack

stone after stone after stone after stone

it’s nothing like they show on TV

that’s why I’m looking out

looking out

looking out for Mister D
