Barely Legal - The Strokes
INTRO:
VERSE:
I didn't take no shortcuts
I've spent the money that I saved up
Oh, mama, running out of luck
They like my sister don't give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it don't make sense
Your strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat
SOLO:
VERSE 2:
Oh, should I work much harder
Or should I just not bother
I never show up on weekdays
That's something that you learned yesterday
Yeah, you don't work or you will be on time
These little parties they're not yours and mine
Come on and listen to what I say
I 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 never had nothing I wanted
But I want it all, I just can't figure out
nothing
BREAK: G
CHORUS:
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, oh, you're a freak
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works out now in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
And for the record it's between you and I
SOLO (twice):
VERSE 3:
I didn't take no shortcuts
I spend the money that I saved up
Oh, mama, running out of luck
They like my sister don't give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don't make any sense
Your strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat
I just want to missa'behave
I just want to be your slave
Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted
But I want it all, I just can't figure out
nothing
BREAK: G
CHORUS:
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, oh, I can wait
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works out now in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
And for the record it's between you and I
BARELY LEGAL
I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Aw mama runnin' out of luck
Well like my sister don't give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it just don't make sense
Aw your strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat

I should have worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
Somethin' that you learned yesterday
Drive you to work, you'll be on time
Your little problems, they're not yours they're mine
Come on listen to what I say
I got some secrets that'll make you stay
I just want to turn you down
I just want a turn you around
You ain't never had nothin' I want but
I want it all, I just can't figure out
Nothin'
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said "Oh, you're a freak" / "Oh, I can wait"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginnin'
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the record it's between you and I
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't got nothin' I want but
I want it all, I just can't
Figure out
Nothin'
or something
