Oh-oh-oh
Seems like everything's changed
Since I was a kid (yeah)
The places we went, the things that we did
We'd write notes in class and send them right back
But kids nowadays only stay in group chats
Oh, I see 'em him acting so much older
With their complicated Starbucks orders
Only 12 years old, but they're glowed up
(I'm actually 13)
We be outside 'til we saw the streetlights
But they stay inside while they playin' Fortnite
What would they know about red light, green light?
But only in Squid Game
Got me feeling so old
Things are different with kids these days
Taking selfies to post
Always dressed like they're 28
Back in the day, cell phones actually had buttons
We checked yes or no whenever we are crushing
But, oh-oh-oh, things are different with kids these, kids these days
They're in relationships
They got a boyfriends and girlfriends
And they're only six (like what?)
When I was that age, I was still getting cooties (ew)
Not going on dates, all alone to the movies
Oh, now you see him throwin' back on TikTok (ayy)
Going shopping for a Gucci wristwatch
I was a kid back when Heelys were cool
But now all the kids hoverboard at the school (like what?)
Tablets at dinner, they're texting their crush
But when I was ten, I was lonely as f-
New TikTok dance every day of the month
How do you keep it up?
Got me feeling so old
Things are different with kids these days
Taking selfies to post
Always dressed like they're 28
Back in the day, cell phones actually had buttons
We checked yes or no whenever we are crushing
But, oh-oh-oh, things are different with kids these, kids these days
(Yeah, yeah, oh-oh-oh, hey)
Like, I-I just don't get it
These kids are so grown up
The only thing I was playing with when I was 11 was toys, not girls' hearts
The only thing I worried about was what my mom was making for dinner that night
Was it lasagna or meatloaf?
Got me feeling so old
Things are different with kids these days
Taking selfies to post
Always dressed like they're 28
Back in the day, cell phones actually had buttons
We checked yes or no whenever we were crushing
But, oh-oh-oh, things are different with kids these, kids these days
