Teenage Daughters

I ain't complainin', but I'm tired

So I'm just sayin' what I think

And if we're bein' honest

Then, honestly, I think I need a drink

My baby's growin' up

She thinks she's fallin' all in love

And that I hate her

At 17, she's just like me

When I was 17, so I don't blame her

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

What are we gonna do?

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

What are we gonna do about it?

Remember when we used to be

Everything they'd ever need?

We had them believin' we were cool

It's like it happened overnight

We're always wrong, they're always right

We used to be the ones breakin' the rules

Now, we're just mothers

And we're just fathers

Of teenage daughters

She rolls her eyes when I'm funny

But she's sweet when she wants money

And her freedom

Oh my god, she's got a car

Swears they won't go far

And I wish I believed 'em

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

What are we gonna do?

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

What are we gonna do about it?

Remember when we used to be

Everything they'd ever need?

We had them believin' we were cool

It's like it happened overnight

We're always wrong, they're always right

We used to be the ones breakin' the rules

Now, we're just mothers

Yeah, we're just fathers

Of teenage daughters

They're beautiful

Wild and free

Everything we wish we could be

But they're still crazy

Oh, you know they make us crazy

Remember when we used to be

Everything they'd ever need?

We had them believin' we were cool

It's like it happened overnight

We're always wrong, they're always right

We used to be the ones breakin' the rules

Now, we're just mothers

And we're just fathers

Of teenage daughters

Yeah, teenage daughters

I ain't complainin', but I'm tired

So I'm just sayin' what I think

And if we're bein' honest

Then, honestly, I think I need a drink
