I've gotta say tonight I acted real bad
And I did the things that make you mad
We have a fight and stand out in the car park crying
What a tradition, losing our position on our joy
Everything that makes us happy
I'll never be so young again
I'll never be so dumb
Oh you let me go down, down, oh
Oh you let me go
And you pull me up again
You pull me up again
And you take me as I am
As I am
Heavy as lead or light as a feather
It's either one or the other
Carefree as a child
Or weighted like a woman
And maybe you've been yanking on the reigns too tight
Maybe you're a little sensitive
Well my friend you don't know the half of it
Oh you let me go down, down, oh
Oh you let me go
And you pull me up again
You pull me up again
And you take me as I am
As I am
Like a friend
As I am
I, I wanna make a big noise
I wanna rebel, rebel, rebel until my youth returns
I wanna take control
Step out into the light
And see, all the wrong in me
And be loved for the right
I gotta say tonight I acted real bad
And I did the things that make you mad
We have a fight and stand out in the car park crying
