‘lookin’ sharp lookin’ for love’

Clean shirt, new shoes
     And I don’t know where I am goin’ to
          Silk suit, black tie,
               I don’t need a reason why
                         They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
                                   ’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man

Gold watch, diamond ring,
     I ain’t missin’ not a single thing
          Cufflinks, stick pin,
               When I step out I’m gonna do you in
                    They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
                                   ’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man

Top coat, top hat,
     And I don’t worry ’cause my wallet’s fat
          Black shades, white gloves,
               Lookin’ sharp lookin’ for love
                          They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
                                   ’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man

but

the way he describes what he’s wearing in that song,

it sounds like he’s a magician,

and girls aren’t crazy about that at all.
