lyrics

I wanna live like a teenage mom,
I wanna live like a teenage mother,
I wanna celebrate life despite what’s right,
I wanna live like a teenage mom.
We gotta dance like we can’t even stop
We gotta dance like we can’t even stop
I wanna close my eyes and grab your arms
And wrap them ‘round my waist and hit the floor.

Overflowing with milk and love and life
Overflowing with hands and ears and eyes.
A little worried, it’s okay
A little worried, it’s okay
You & me, you & me, you & me, Oh, you & me.
A little flawed, it’s okay
A little flawed, it’s okay
You & me, we’re the same,
A little scared, a bit ashamed.

The competition’s not our fault,
It was there before we were born,
This hatred’s not our fault,
It was there before we were born,
The lines are not our fault,
They were drawn before we were born,
The tracks are not our fault,
They were laid before we were born.

I wanna live like a teenage mom,
I wanna live like a teenage mother,
I wanna celebrate life despite what’s right,
I wanna live like a teenage mom.
