 THE STROKES - Barely Legal (EP Version) 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 ####
r5p10162"1551322ipp10c

Oh his strange manners, I love 'em so
I wish you'd wear your new trench coat
I don't show up on weekdays
That's something that you learned yesterday

I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't got nothing I want, but
I want it all
I just can't figure out
Nothin'

I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it don't make sense
I took five dollars, won't get me far
My last resort is to steal your car
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 got nothing I want, but
I want it all
I just can't figure out
Nothin'

And all he said is, I'm a freak
He ordered them to make mistakes
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Today the day that I was born
He won't leave me alone he keeps asking for more
Together again, like the beginning
But for the record it's between you and me

I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it don't make sense
Oh, his strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't he wear his new trenchcoat?
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 ####

I just want to turn you down
And maybe later I'll turn you around
You ain't never had nothing I want, but
I want it all
I just can't figure out
Nothing

And all he said is, I'm a freak
He ordered them to make mistakes
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Today the day that I was born
He won't leave me alone he just asks for more
Together again, like the beginning
I said it's between you and I
