I ain’t complainin’, but I’m tired So I’m just sayin’ what I think And if we’re being honest Then honestly I think I need a drink
My baby’s growin’ up She thinks she’s fallin’ all in love and that I hate her At seventeen, she’s just like me when I was seventeen So I don’t blame her
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do What are we gonna do? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do What are we gonna do about it?
Remember when we used to be Everything they’d ever need We had them believing we were cool
It’s like it happened overnight We’re always wrong, they’re always right We used to be the ones breakin’ the rules
Now we’re just mothers We’re just fathers Of teenage daughters
She rolls her eyes when I’m funny But she’s sweet when she wants money and her freedom Oh my god, she’s got a car, swears they won’t go far And I wish I believed ‘em
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do What are we gonna do? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do What are we gonna do about it?
Remember when we used to be Everything they’d ever need We had them believing we were cool
It’s like it happened overnight We’re always wrong, they’re always right We used to be the ones breakin’ the rules
Now we’re just mothers Yeah, we’re just fathers Of teenage daughters
They’re beautiful, wild and free Everything we wish we could be But they’re still crazy Oh, you know, they make us crazy
Remember when we used to be Everything they’d ever need We had them believing we were cool
It’s like it happened overnight We’re always wrong, they’re always right We used to be the ones breakin’ the rules
Now we’re just mothers And we’re just fathers Of teenage daughters Yeah, teenage daughters
I ain’t complainin’, but I’m tired So I’m just sayin’ what I think And if we’re being honest Then honestly I think I need a drink
