You got me falling in love with what's next
The personality's a casualty but
I'm impressed

With the way you control the verbs
Moving in and out with words
Slow, slow down we don't have to rush

How profound is the sequence
Perception to the touch
Is it just me or does this routine

Ever get inside your head
And tell you all the little things
That you wish... had been said(2)

Chorus
When will I be old enough to do
as I please
These late nights are getting old
There are better ways to your knees

Mommy always had you buttoned up
We were daddy's little peach

When will I be old enough...
to do as I please

You've got me here
But you've got me wrong

I'm not a cannibal but I cannot say
I won't eat one of my own

But with words slurred I confess
This smile isn't based on your subtle wit
But the cut of your dress

It makes that ugly morning
Seem so far away
And if it ever comes at all
Then I'll know...
Just what to say

When will I be old enough to do
as I please
These late nights are getting old
There are better ways to your knees

Mommy always had you buttoned up
We were daddy's little peach

When will I be old enough(2)
... to do as I please(3)

So wake up, wake up it's the morning
Another eight hours and the days
Left you wanting reprieve

Or at least religion
But just relax cause everyone's sinning
Last night the drinks, the words, the kiss

The car, the apartment, the cab fare, fake digits
Your hair, your make-up, your high heels, impeccable
All of it, just to sit
With some wannabes and counterfeits

How respectable(2)
Lets turn the lights on(3)
-Lets turn the lights on now! -

When will I be old enough
(To do as I please)
Mommy had you buttoned up
(We were daddy's little peach)

When will I be old enough
When will I be(3)
