Strokes - Barely Legal (Ep Version) lyrics

rate me

I didn't take no shortcuts<br />

<br />

I spent the money that I saved up<br />

Oh, Momma running out of luck<br />

<br />

<br />

Like my sister, don't give a fuck<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Oh his strange manners, I love 'em so<br />

<br />

"I wish you'd wear your new trench coat"<br />

<br />

I don't show up on weekdays<br />

<br />

That's something that you learned yesterday<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

I just want to misbehave<br />

I just want to be your slave<br />

<br />

You ain't got nothing I want, but...<br />

<br />

I want it all<br />

<br />

I just can't figure out...<br />

<br />

Nothin'<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

I wanna steal your innocence<br />

<br />

To me my life, it don't make sense<br />

I took five dollars, won't get me far<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

My last resort is to steal your car<br />

"Drive you to work; you'll be on time<br />

<br />

<br />

These little problems they're not yours and mine,"<br />

"Come on and listen to what I say<br />

<br />

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

I just want to turn you down<br />

<br />

I just want to turn you around<br />

<br />

Oh, you ain't got nothing I want, but...<br />

<br />

<br />

I want it all<br />

I just can't figure out...<br />

<br />

Nothin'<br />

<br />

And all he said is, "I'm a freak"<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

He ordered them to make mistakes<br />

<br />

And all together it went well<br />

<br />

We made pretend we were best friends<br />

<br />

<br />

He won't leave me alone he keeps asking for more<br />

Today the day that I was born<br />

Together again, like the beginning<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

But for the record it's between you and me<br />

<br />

<br />

I wanna steal your innocence<br />

<br />

To me my life, it don't make sense<br />

<br />

Oh, his strange manners I love 'em so<br />

<br />

"Why won't he wear his new trenchcoat?"<br />

<br />

I didn't take no shortcuts<br />

<br />

I spent the money that I saved up<br />

<br />

Oh, Momma running out of luck<br />

<br />

Like my sister don't give a fuck<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

I just want to turn you down<br />

<br />

And maybe later I'll turn you around<br />

<br />

I want it all<br />

You ain't never had nothing I want, but...<br />

<br />

<br />

I just can't figure out...<br />

Nothing<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

And all he said is, "I'm a freak"<br />

<br />

He ordered them to make mistakes<br />

<br />

And all together it went well<br />

<br />

We made pretend we were best friends<br />

<br />

Today the day that I was born<br />

<br />

He won't leave me alone he just asks for more<br />

<br />

Together again, like the beginning<br />

<br />

I said it's between you and I
