Go on and admit it   You can't take it anymore   So why don't you quit it?   Your scratching off again   Can't you see it?   Well, the whole thing was such a surprise      I know you and your hear crazy notions   Your pretty girls and no devotions   Down by the ocean middle class   Down by the gulf side, you let it all slide      But now your saying that you don't wanna be   A sixteen year old girl, aah   But you don't want to turn twenty-five   You never ever, you never ever lied   Where you been   You got to survive to keep yourself alive, yeah-ah, yeah      It ain't no big deal if your attitude is wrong   And you don't know how you feel   You just cop someone else's ideas   And masturbate yourself, make them your own      Well I, I don't mean to tell you what to do   'Cause I've scratched off myself a time or two   Well, it just leaves you blue with nothing to do   And they think I'm crazy when I stay up all weekend      But now your saying that you don't wanna be   A sixteen year old girl, oh yeah, aah   But you don't want to turn twenty-five   You never ever, you never ever lied   Where you been   You got to survive to keep yourself alive, yeah ah   My na na no, yeah      So if I'm walking down the street and you see me   Don't walk on by, say, "Hey man, you know you're looking   You're looking so fine, you don't have to mean it, no no   It's just one of the regular lies that we've lived with   And this is a love song and I'm writing it just to survive
