Don't Date the Teenager

I saw your photo on my phone when I was 18 Fresh out the shower and fresh onto the music scene Smart and successful, highly impressionable was I then And I was fine then You seemed so gentlemanly, tender, sensitive, romantic Your fast infatuation with me made my parents panic Caught up in your head 'til I lay in your bed A daydream Is when I'm taking my first shot with you, in a dim lit room We were on route to your friends' thirtieth birthday "I love you"s whispered far too soon How I look at you is the best thing in the worst way But now I'm 20, and I'm not as fun Hold it against me when I have opinions If you're needing saving, then this won't get far Don't date the teenager na, na, na, na, na You won't go out with my young friends to clubs We go to weddings, everyone is on drugs If you need a baby who can drive your car Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na We go to dinner to discuss your quarter-life crisis Somehow I end up in tears, boy, you're full of surprises You pay the check and then the two of us head home in silence Now I feel bad for crying But this isn't my first fight with you, in a dim lit room We were on route to three kids and a divorce, right? "I love you"s whispered far too soon How I look at you these days is in a new light 'Cause now I'm 20, and you're not as fun Hold it against me when I have opinions If you're needing saving, then this won't get far Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na, na You won't go out with my young friends to clubs We go to weddings, everyone is on drugs If you need a baby who can drive your car Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na, na Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na, na I try recreating the earlier days When singing your praises felt like telling the truth Now I'm just ashamed, friends only drop your name when So casually saying, "What the fuck are you gonna do?" 'Cause now I'm 20 and this isn't fun Hold it against me when I have opinions If you're needing saving, then this won't get far Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na, na Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na, na If you need a baby who can drive your car Don't date the teenager, na, na, na, na
