Barely Legal lyrics

[Verse 1]

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Aw mama runnin' out of luck

Well like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life, it don't make any sense

These strange manners, I loved 'em so

Why won't you wear your new trench coat?

[Verse 2]

I should have worked much harder

I should have just not bothered

I never show up on weekdays

And somethin' 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

[Bridge]

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, nothin'

[Chorus]

And all together it went well

We may pretend we were best friends

Then she said "Oh you're a freak"

They ordered me to make mistakes

Together again, like the beginnin'

It all works somehow in the end

The things we did the thing you hide

But for the record it's between you and I

[Verse 1]

[Pre-Chorus]

I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

Oh you ain't never had nothin' I wanted but

I want it all, I just can't figure out nothin'
