Brand New Second Hand (version 1) Songtext
von Peter Tosh

Sha la la, la la (Yeah)
Sha la la, la la (Yeah)

You′re only acting like you are somebody
But I don't know say you′re not nobody
Don't exalt your painted face, girl
'Cause underneath that face you′re just a disgrace

And you′re just a brand new second hand
No make no one fool
You're just a brand new second hand
A only come to school
You′re a brand new second hand
Dirty, cool and rude
You're just a brand new second hand


What you′ve got girl, that I don't know
Why you really, really got to exalt yourself so
Mama used to tell me a long time ago, girl
It′s not everything, you know, that glitters is gold

So you're just a brand new second hand (Yes, girl)
No man no want, no (Brand new second hand)
You better go back round so, girl (Brand new second hand)
Don't you show off so (Brand new second hand)

Sha la la, la la (Baby)
Sha la la, la la (Yeah)
Sha la la, la la (Yeah)
Sha la la, la la (Yeah)

If you think it′s the dress you wear that makes you a lady
Get that out of your mind, you must be crazy

You′re just a brand new second hand (Yes, girl)
No man no want, no (Brand new second hand)
Yes, girl, no bother come show off so

You're just a brand new second hand
