Teenage Daughters

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

So I'm just sayin' what I think

And if we're being 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 seventeen, she's just like me when I was seventeen

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 believing 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

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 believing 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 believing 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 being honest

Then honestly I think I need a drink
