Go on and admit it
3
You can't take it anymore
4
So why don't you quit it
5
Your scratching off again
6
Can't you see it
7
Well the whole thing was such a surprise
8
I know you and your hear crazy notions
9
Your pretty girls and no devotions
10
Down by the ocean middle class
11
Down by the gulf side, you let it all slide
12
But now your saying that you don't
13
wanna be a sixteen year old girl, aah
14
But you don't want to turn twenty-five
15
You never ever, you never ever lied,
16
where you been, aahh
17
You got to survive to keep yourself alive,
18
yeah-ah, yeah
19
It ain't no big deal if your attitude is wrong
20
and you don't know how you feel
21
You just cop someone else's ideas
22
and masturbate yourself, make them your own
23
Well I, I don't mean to tell you what to do
24
cause I've scratched off myself a time or two
25
Well it just leaves you blue, with nothing to do
26
And they think I'm crazy when I stay up all weekend
27
But now your saying that you don't
28
wanna be a sixteen year old girl, oh yeah, aah
29
But you don't want to turn twenty-five
30
You never ever, you never ever lied
31
where you been, aahh
32
You got to survive to keep yourself alive
33
yeah-ah, my na na no, yeah
34
So if I'm walking down the street and you see me
35
Don't walk on by, say hey man
36
you know your looking, your looking so fine
37
You don't have to mean it, no no
38
Its just one of the regular lies that we've lived with
39
And this is a love song and
40
I'm writing it just to survive
