Jamie Corby - Teenage Life lyrics

rate me

Now hear this...

What did you learn at school today ?

That’s what the teachers used to say

But they don’t know

Don’t understand, do they ?

Why do they always give advice ?

Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”

When it’s been a long since they had a teenage life

What did you learn at school today ?

That’s what the teachers used to say

But they don’t know

Don’t understand, do they ?

Why do they always give advice

Saying “Just be nice, always think twice”

When it’s been a long time since they had a teenage life

Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young

Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song

Classroom schemes and dreams

Man they couldn’t save me

Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on “Avy”

Teenage kicks running out what could we do

I still show respect to my boys who made it through

And getting told off Mr T how my life would be

Then giving him a signal

So everyone could see

Sunshine and shade

Those girls I’d serenade

Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave

Hoping that those days would go on and on forever

Every day something new

Just friends running together

But suddenly school ends

Your teenage life gone

All your mates are growing up now

They’re moving on

And now I’m looking back

I’ll tell you what I know

Do you listen to your teacher ?

No I don’t think so

Thanks to Jamie
