It used to be so easy
We'd lie around
On the couch
Singing Britney songs out loud
That used to be the old me
Who'd have known
We'd outgrow
Dancing to the radio?
Now I have spent my money again
I can't even pay my share of the rent
Oh, it's got me thinking of the days
Back when it was
Me and you
We'd hang out after school
Used to be so simple
Wish we knew
Back when we were
Young in love
No worries in the world
Where did all the time go?
Oh, I just hate being 22
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du
I hate being 22
Ripped up Nirvana T-shirt
Making all the teachers mad
Passing notes around the class
It always seemed like hard work
But now I know
Looking back
That it wasn't all that bad
'Cause now I have spent my money again
I can't even pay my share of the rent
Oh, it's got me thinking of the days
Back when it was
Me and you
We'd hang out after school
Used to be so simple
Wish we knew
Back when we were
Young in love
No worries in the world
Where did all the time go?
Oh, I just hate being 22
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du
I might be lost
Confused
But one day I will miss
Just being 22
We didn't have a clue
When it was
Me and you
We'd hang out after school
Used to be so simple
Wish we knew
Back when we were
Young in love
No worries in the world
Where did all the time go?
Oh, I just hate being 22
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du-du, du-du-du-du
I hate being 22
