Teenage life |
| ("What did you learn at school today?") |
| (That's what the teachers used to say) Oh yeah |
| (But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
| (Why do they always give advice?) Always |
| (Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
| (When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) Let's go |
| |
| ("What did you learn at school today?") What did you learn? |
| (That's what the teachers used to say) What did you learn? |
| (But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
| (Why do they always give advice?) Always, always |
| (Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
| (When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
| |
| Dwellin' on the past, from back when I was young |
| Thinkin' of my school days and tryin' to write this song |
| Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me |
| 'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy |
| |
| Teenage kicks running out, what could we do? |
| I still show respect to my boys who made it through |
| And getting told off Mr T how my life would be |
| Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see |
| |
| Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade |
| Thinkin' of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (Whatever) |
| Hopin' that those days would go on and on forever |
| Every day something new, just friends runnin' together |
| |
| But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone |
| All your mates are growin' up, now they're movin' on |
| And now I'm lookin' back, I'll tell you what I know |
| Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so |
| |
| ("What did you learn at school today?") Yeah, yeah |
| (That's what the teachers used to say) |
| (But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
| (Why do they always give advice?) |
| (Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
| (When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
| |
| Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine |
| Yeah, yeah |
| (Ooh... shine) We all will shine, hear me now |
| And if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime |
| No, no (Won't do the crime) |
| Yeah |
| |
| Now my bad old ways were durin' my school days |
| Messin' with those grade A's, my life is just a haze |
| I'm goin' through the struggle, five ten and kickin' back |
| So I could lock the flow, lace it up now on the track |
| |
| Oh yeah, I felt the pain whilst chasin' all the fame |
| I'm being told I'm nothin', just a player in the game |
| But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see |
| I'm drivin' these fast cars, it's five stars for me |
| |
| ("What did you learn at school today?") |
| Just take your turn, you gotta learn |
| (That's what the teachers used to say) |
| (But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
| They don't know nothin' |
| (Why do they always give advice?) Always givin' advice, yeah |
| (Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
| (When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
| |
| Yeah, yeah |
| (When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
