Barely Legal

Lyrics

I didn't take no shortcuts
 I spent the money that I saved up
 Oh, mama, running out of luck
 But, like my sister, don't give a fuck
 I wanna steal your innocence
 To me, my life, it don't make sense
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
 "Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"
 ♪
 I should've worked much harder
 I should've just not bothered
 I never show up on weekdays
 That's something that you learned yesterday
 Drive you to work and you'll be on time
 These little problems, they're not yours, they're mine
 Come on listen to what I say
 I've got some secrets that'll make you stay
 I just want to turn you down
 I just want to turn you around
 Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted
 But I want it all, I just can't figure out
 Nothing
 ♪
 And all together it went well
 We made pretend we were best friends
 Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"
 "They ordered me to make mistakes"
 Together again, like the beginning
 It all works somehow in the end
 The things we did, the things you hide
 For the record it's between you and I
 ♪
 Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts
 I spent the money that I saved up
 Oh, mama, running out of luck
 And like my sister, don't give a fuck
 I wanna steal your innocence
 To me my life, it just don't make any sense
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
 "Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"
 I just want to misbehave
 I just want to be your slave
 Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted
 But I want it all, I just can't figure out
 ♪
 Nothin'
 And all together it went well
 We made pretend we were best friends
 Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"
 They ordered me to make mistakes
 Together again, like the beginning
 It all works somehow in the end
 The things we did, the things you hide
 And for the record, it's between you and I
