Well, she was fifteen going to twenty nine
Daddy threw her out
Caught her doing a line
She still dances to the same old song
Preacher's son, class president
Say I threw it all away
The night we met for a thrill
But, you were wrong
We were just a-learning
No flags were burning
Two kids just coming of age
And don't try to teach us
You're never gonna reach us
You and I, we ain't the same
I wouldn't want to be you
Left stranded
The last one standing
When it all comes crashing down
I wouldn't want to be you
Left hiding
With your World colliding
And walls come a tumbling down
Put yourself in your shoes man
Would you want to be you?
I think it's funny how you spring your tongue
Try to look good in other peoples eyes
Ah, hell if they only knew
You said three words, only one is true
The other two words they all about you
I see right through
I wouldn't want to be you
Left stranded
The last one standing
When it all comes crashing down
I wouldn't want to be you
Left hiding
With your World colliding
And walls come a tumbling down
Put yourself in your shoes man
Would you want to be you?
Take it bro...
We were just a-learning
No flags were burning
Two kids just coming of age
And don't try to teach us
You're never gonna reach us
You and I, we ain't the same
I wouldn't want to be you
Left stranded
The last one standing
When it all comes crashing down
I wouldn't want to be you
Left hiding
With your World colliding
And walls come a tumbling down
Put yourself in your shoes man
Would you want to be you?
