Go on and admit it You can't take it anymore So why don't you quit it Your scratching off again Can't you see it Well the whole thing was such a surprise
I know you and your hear crazy notions Your pretty girls and no devotions Down by the ocean middle class Down by the gulf side, you let it all slide
But now your saying that you don't wanna be a sixteen year old girl, aah But you don't want to turn twenty-five You never ever, you never ever lied, where you been, aahh You got to survive to keep yourself alive, yeah-ah, yeah
It ain't no big deal if your attitude is wrong and you don't know how you feel You just cop someone else's ideas and masturbate yourself, make them your own Well I, I don't mean to tell you what to do cause I've scratched off myself a time or two Well it just leaves you blue, with nothing to do And they think I'm crazy when I stay up all weekend
But now your saying that you don't wanna be a sixteen year old girl, oh yeah, aah But you don't want to turn twenty-five You never ever, you never ever lied where you been, aahh You got to survive to keep yourself alive yeah-ah, my na na no, yeah
So if I'm walking down the street and you see me Don't walk on by, say hey man you know your looking, your looking so fine You don't have to mean it, no no Its just one of the regular lies that we've lived with And this is a love song and I'm writing it just to survive
