Strokes - Barely Legal lyrics

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me, my life, it don't make sense

Those strange manners, I loved 'em so

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

I should've worked much harder

I should've just not bothered

I never show up on weekdays

Something that you learned yesterday

"Drive you to work; you'll be on time

These little problems they're not yours and mine,"

"Come on and 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

Oh, you ain't never had nothin' 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

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

For the record it's between you and I

Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life, it just don't make any sense

Those strange manners, I loved 'em so

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...

I want it all

I just can't figure out...

Nothin'

And all together it went well

We made pretend we were best friends

Then she said, "Oh, I can 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

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