John Mellencamp - Too Young To Live lyrics

Well its hard to be cool when your still in High School You got the old man jacking you around And he tells you what to do Gives your opinions to you And you feel like just some kinda clown And the old lady is b**hin Why do you clean up all the kitchen What time you gonna be home tonight And you walk out the door Cause you can't take anymore You don't know wrong from right As you walk by All the young girls gonna wink their eye You ain't playin' for pennies no no You know that the trick is to hide Your to young to live But your a little to fast to die Well you fear for you a** and run?? Down that gra**, when the crowd comes near?? And the suicide dolls?? can be easily bought After a six, six pack of beer And they talk a little loud When their - "Who have you been with now"?? Did you find yourself a hero And you think its kinda fun That you don't have any money To bet if you place or you show All the young girls gonna shake their thigh Well some time in the night You cry for a sign Of someone to help you along But you see yourself as tough And you know its just a bluff You got that reputation to carry on And if you ever get away >From what the old man might say Hey you been a big man ..... You'll remember the cliché In what your mother use to say Your family is your only friend All the young girls gonna shake their thigh
