Sometimes I think I used to be a flapper girl in L.A.

Short dress, short hair put it all on display

I′m talking back to the Roaring Twenties, post World-War'Cause I′m in 2015, but I love what they wore

And I think I went to parties calling everybody, "Darling"

And known in the community as somebody that's charming

Don a fur coat and had a ruby on my finger

Always on the prowl, so I know I was a swinger

Loved Jazz music, always felt that soul

Liquor in the glass and a room full of smoke

Somebody go and turn the phonograph up louder

Last dance then I gotta get my nose powdered

T-Model in the streets with a black interior

And smack any man that says that women are inferior

Got the right to vote, can't tell us nothing

See all the suffering finally turned into suffrage

I was just as stunning in my past life

I was just as cunning in my past life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life

I was just as daring in my past life

Everybody staring like my last life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life

The Prohibition Era, but we still partied

And the way I did the Charleston in a sea full of bodies

Corner of my eye, a broad mouths, "etiquette"

Stuck up, I bet she hails from Connecticut

I′m the greatest thing since sliced Wonder Bread

Even with the war I seemed to always look ahead

They say the market′s going down, Titanic

And even if it's true, I don′t care I'll manage

Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin

And I′m Ms. Perricone if anybody's asking

Well behaved women rarely make history

Oh, Mr. Officer I swear it wasn′t me

Had to push the boundaries, had to test the water

And I hope I have, I hope I have the same kind of daughter

Play my hands well, even if the card's are all stacked

And when I died I had a grin because I knew I'd be back

I was just as stunning in my past life

I was just as cunning in my past life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life

I was just as daring in my past life

Everybody staring like my last life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life

And the times have changed

But I still feel the same

I swapped out the name

Modern woman I became

Must admit I am a hazard

And I tend to follow patterns

Put in predicaments where I don′t know the outcome

Sense of insecurity, I guess I do without one

Took the path and I just blazed it

The bar they set, I just really had to raise it

Call me what you like, you could call me what you like

But fair warning, I don′t bark I got a whole lot of bite

I was just as stunning in my past life

I was just as cunning in my past life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life

I was just as daring in my past life

Everybody staring like my last life

Still up to no good, got a soul on fire

Leave my mark on the world like my past life
