Don't date the teenager


I saw your photo on my phone when I was eighteen
Fresh out the shower and fresh onto the music scene
Smart and successful, highly impressionable was I then
And I was fine then

You seemed so gentlemanly, tender, sensitive, romantic
Your fast infatuation with me made my parents panic
Caught up in your head 'til I lay in your bed
A daydream

Is when I'm taking my first shot with you in a dim lit room
We were en route to your friends' thirtieth birthday
"I love you"s whispered far too soon
How I look at you is the best thing in the worst way

But now I'm twenty and I'm not as fun
Hold it against me when I have opinions
If you're needing saving then this won't get far
Don't date the teenager na na na na na
You won't go out with my young friends to clubs
We go to weddings, everyone is on drugs
If you need a baby who can drive your car
Don't date the teenager na na na na

We go to dinner to discuss your quarter-life crisis
Somehow I end up in tears, boy, you're full of surprises
You pay the check and then the two of us head home in silence
Now I feel bad for crying

But this isn't my first fight with you in a dim lit room
We were en route to 3 kids and a divorce, right?
"I love you"s whispered far too soon
How I look at you these days is in a new light

'Cause now I'm twenty and you're not as fun (not as fun)
Hold it against me when I have opinions (opinions)
If you're needing saving then this won't get far (won't get far)
Don't date the teenager na na na na na
You won't go out with my young friends to clubs (friends to clubs)
We go to weddings, everyone is on drugs (on drugs)
If you need a baby who can drive your car (drive your car)
Don't date the teenager na na na na

Don't date the teenager na na na na
Don't date the teenager na na na na na
Don't date the teenager na na na na na

I try recreating the earlier days
When singing your praises felt like telling the truth
Now I'm just ashamed, friends only drop your name
When so casually saying
"What the fuck are you gonna do?"

'Cause now I'm twenty and this isn't fun
Hold it against me when I have opinions
If you're needing saving then this won't get far
Don't date the teenager na na na na na

Don't date the teenager na na na na
Don't date the teenager na na na na na
If you need a baby who can drive your car
Don't date the teenager na na na na

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
