The Strokes - Barely Legal (EP Version) LYRICS

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck



Oh his strange manners, I love 'em so

"I wish you'd wear your new trench coat"

I don't show up on weekdays

That's something that you learned yesterday



I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

You ain't got nothing I want, but...

I want it all

I just can't figure out...

Nothin'



I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life, it don't make sense

I took five dollars, won't get me far

My last resort is to steal your car

"Drive you to work; you'll be on time

These little problems they're not yours and mine,"

"Come on and listen to what I say

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"



I just want to turn you down

I just want to turn you around

Oh, you ain't got nothing I want, but...

I want it all

I just can't figure out...

Nothin'



And all he said is, "I'm a freak"

He ordered them to make mistakes

And all together it went well

We made pretend we were best friends

Today the day that I was born

He won't leave me alone he keeps asking for more

Together again, like the beginning

But for the record it's between you and me



I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life, it don't make sense

Oh, his strange manners I love 'em so

"Why won't he wear his new trenchcoat?"

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister don't give a fuck



I just want to turn you down

And maybe later I'll turn you around

You ain't never had nothing I want, but...

I want it all

I just can't figure out...

Nothing



And all he said is, "I'm a freak"

He ordered them to make mistakes

And all together it went well

We made pretend we were best friends

Today the day that I was born

He won't leave me alone he just asks for more

Together again, like the beginning

I said it's between you and I
