[Verse 2]
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember she's getting older too1stchords
And don't lose the way that you dance around
in your PJs getting ready for school
[Repeat Chorus]
