"to be eighteen" lyrics

"to be eighteen"

Lean in closer, I want to get
A better smell of her Number 5
It's a womanly scent
I am just a child in your arms
Play them closer, please
All the songs you wrote for her
While you were holding me
Did your fingers ever stop?
Did your minds know a peace in my arms?

Was it just too much for you?
Was it not enough?
Naked, lying next to you
While you begged them to please
Take all their clothes off
Oh, to be eighteen

Don't take me home again
We can age inside your car
'Til the world just ends
Tell me it was never love, it was all pretend
And I'll stay

Was it just too much for you?
Was it not enough?
Naked, lying next to you
While you begged them to please
Take all their clothes off
What else was it gonna do?
You were made for love

Pretending I don't need it too
So you don't give me up
Oh, to be eighteen
Oh, to be eighteen
Oh, to be eighteen
