I'm too young to be stuffed in your pocket
Locked up like all your loose change
Saved up for a rainy day
Spent when you say it's okay
Waiting to be given away.
I'm too old to be tied up to your heart
Like a dog on a leash out in the yard
Following you and
Begging for food
Obeying and staying when you tell me to
Cnd you love me when I'm fast asleep
You love me when I'm on my knees
You love me when I just don't speak.
I'm too dumb to learn all of your lessons
Like a big, brainless beast with a textbook
Ripping the pages and stuffing his face
Dining on science, 'cause science tastes great.
I'm too smart to be sat down and lied too
Like a whiny child told not to cry
"If I were you, I'd stop making that face
It'll get stuck that way
You'll run out of tears
Cnd you'll need 'em someday."
Cnd you love me when I'm fast asleep.
You love me when I'm on my knees.
You love me when I just don't speak.
Cnd you love me when you're all alone.
You love me when your schedule's full.
You love me less each time you call
"Come and get me"
Cowardly Cleveland city resident.
Call the police again just like your dad
Talented, tipsy, little teenage me
Can't believe I didn't see it coming
When you smiled at me.
Love me when you're all alone
You love me when your schedule's full
You love me less each time you call
"Come and get me"
Cnd you love me when I'm fast asleep
You love me when I'm on my knees
You love me when I just don't speak.
Come and get me.
