Seventeen candles

LETRA

Seventeen candles

Every day’s a distraction
All the animals just looking for action
And Emily’s free-styling rhymes
Smoking in the girls’ room to kill some time

Cause all they want is a girl who
Parties hard and doesn’t bother to argue
And nobody’s worse for the wear
Everybody’s cool with the “I don’t care”

(coro)

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But I’ve a feeling
That she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her, it don’t get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?

Just as bad as a half stack
Of vodka tonic bottled up in her backpack
She’s badder than Big Heavy Janes
She tunes it all out but the fact remains
That all we do is talk about the future
Like there’s someway to control it
Why not just enjoy the ride

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But I’ve a feeling
That she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her, it don’t get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?

She said “If this is the night life, I’d rather stay in
You call this a good time, I just call it a trend
If this is as good as it gets then I’m packing up my shit and I’m gone
And I’m not coming back."

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But I’ve a feeling
That she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her, it don’t get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?
