I took her out, it was a Friday night I wore cologne to get the feeling right We started making out and she took off my pants But then I turned on the TV And that's about the time she walked away from me Nobody likes you when you're twenty three And I'm still more amused by TV shows What the hell is A.D.D.? My friends say I should act my age What's my age again, what's my age again? Then later on, on the drive home I called her mom from a pay phone I said I was the cops And your husband's in jail The state looks down on sodomy And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me Nobody likes you when you're twenty three And I'm still more amused by prank phone calls What the hell is call ID? My friends say I should act my age What's my age again, what's my age again? And that's about the time she walked away from me Nobody likes you when you're twenty three And you still act like you're in freshman year What the hell is wrong with me? My friends say I should act my age What's my age again, what's my age again? That's about the time she broke up with me No one should take themselves so seriously With many years ahead to fall in line Why would you wish that on me? I never want to act my age What's my age again, what's my age again? What's my age again?
