Why is being young so hard
|
But so easy to rhyme
|
Tried before in my backyard
|
We been young a long time
|
|
I don't want to be told what to do
|
I don't want to be old and I sure can't be new
|
|
Baby, I am what I am
|
Don't hate me for that
|
Lately it seems you don't give a damn
|
Treat me good as the cat
|
|
Why is being young oh, so tough
|
So easy to rhyme
|
I always do and say the wrong stuff
|
I ain't been young in some time
|
|
Don't want to be told what to do
|
Don't want to be old, sure can't be new
|
|
Baby, I am what I am
|
Don't hate me for that
|
Lately it seems you don't give a damn
|
Treat me good as the cat
|
|
The biggest kitty gets all the attention
|
Not that I need
|
A phony feline gets a mainline injection
|
'Scuse me while I try to breath
|
|
I don't want to be told what to do
|
Don't want to be old, I sure can't be new
|
|
Baby, am what I am
|
Don't hate me for that
|
Lately it seems I don't give a damn
|
Treat me good as the cat
|
|
Baby, am what I am
|
Don't hate me for that
|
Lately seems you don't give a damn
|
Just treat me good as the cat
|
Treat me good as the cat
|
Good as the cat
|
Good as the cat
|
As good as the cat
|
As good as the cat
|
As good as the cat
|
As good as the cat
|
