Strokes - Barely Legal lyrics

rate me

I didn't take no shortcuts <br />

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

Oh, Momma running out of luck <br />

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

<br />

I wanna steal your innocence <br />

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

Those strange manners, I loved 'em so <br />

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?" <br />

<br />

I should've worked much harder <br />

I should've just not bothered <br />

I never show up on weekdays <br />

Something that you learned yesterday <br />

<br />

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

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

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

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

<br />

I just want to turn you down <br />

I just want to turn you around <br />

Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but... <br />

I want it all <br />

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

Nothing <br />

<br />

And all together it went well <br />

We made pretend we were best friends <br />

Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak" <br />

"They ordered me to make mistakes" <br />

Together again, like the beginning <br />

It all works somehow in the end <br />

The things we did, the things you hide <br />

For the record it's between you and I <br />

<br />

Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts <br />

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

Oh, Momma running out of luck <br />

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

<br />

I wanna steal your innocence <br />

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

Those strange manners, I loved 'em so <br />

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?" <br />

<br />

I just want to misbehave <br />

I just want to be your slave <br />

Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but... <br />

I want it all <br />

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

Nothin' <br />

<br />

And all together it went well <br />

We made pretend we were best friends <br />

Then she said, "Oh, I can wait" <br />

They ordered me to make mistakes <br />

Together again like the beginning <br />

It all works somehow in the end <br />

The things we did, the things you hide <br />

And for the record, it's between you and I
