This is for them
20s somethings
Time really moves fast

glass and laugh like a
This is for them
50s somethings
Hey you're halfway there
baby take it to the head
Mom and dad
tryna have a word
Said the world is just
too big for a little girl
Eyes wide open came to see
I had my first
heels by the age of 13
Mom and dad
tryna have the boys
I swear that just
make them want me more
At 14 they asked
what I wanna be
I said baby 21
so I get me a drink
I'm not a teacher babe
But I can teach
you something
Not a preacher
But we can pray if you wanna
Ain't a doctor
But I can make
you feel better
But I'm great at writing
these sick love letters
I'm a freak
all day all night
Hot tap sway
Boy out of sight
And I'm crazy all
day all night
Who needs a degree
when you're schoolin' life
Schoolin' life oh

This is for them
pretty somethings
Living in a fastlane
see you when you crash babe
This is for them

That body can't always
get ya out of everything
This is for them
bitter somethings
Stop living in regret

And this is for
them somethings
That's high old life

I'm not a teacher babe
But I can teach
you something
Not a preacher
But we can pray
if you wanna
Ain't a doctor
But I can make
you feel better
