The Strokes - Barely Legal

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money
that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister
just don't give a fuck
I want to steal
your innocence
To me my life
it don't make sense
Your strange manners
I love you so
Why won't you wear
your new trench coat

I should have
worked much harder
I should have
just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
That's something
that you learned yesterday
Drive you to work
so you'll be on time
Your 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
You ain't never had anything
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
And 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
But for the records
it's all between you and I

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money
that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister
just dont give a fuck
I want to steal your innocence
To me my life it
don't make any sense
Your strange manners
I love you so
Why won't you wear
your new trench coat
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't never had anything
I wanted but
I want it all
I just can't figure out
Nothing

And all together it went well
We made pretned
we were best friends
And then she said
Oh I can't 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
But for the records
it's all between you and I
