Why is being young so hard
But so easy to rhyme
Tried before in my backyard
We been young a long time
I don't want to be told what to do
I don't want to be old and I sure can't be new
Baby, I am what I am
Don't hate me for that
Lately it seems you don't give a damn
Treat me good as the cat
Why is being young oh, so tough
So easy to rhyme
I always do and say the wrong stuff
I ain't been young in some time
Don't want to be told what to do
Don't want to be old, sure can't be new
Baby, I am what I am
Don't hate me for that
Lately it seems you don't give a damn
Treat me good as the cat
The biggest kitty gets all the attention
Not that I need
A phony feline gets a mainline injection
'Scuse me while I try to breath
I don't want to be told what to do
Don't want to be old, I sure can't be new
Baby, am what I am
Don't hate me for that
Lately it seems I don't give a damn
Treat me good as the cat
Baby, am what I am
Don't hate me for that
Lately seems you don't give a damn
Just treat me good as the cat
Treat me good as the cat
Good as the cat
Good as the cat
As good as the cat
As good as the cat
As good as the cat
As good as the cat
