So you think you know it all, but that's just the arrogance of youth. I've been there and I've done it, baby. I'm tellin' you the truth. Your Momma was a tearaway. I used to think I knew it all. Thought I could play the game and not get played -no-, but then the fall.
Don't you go pull a fast one, I used to be an awful rascal. Do you think you invented being bad? I used to be a real rough-hewn, but had to become a tough one. Do you think you invented being bad?
I bet you think I look respectable: you should've seen me in my prime. You'd have thought that I was headed for -oh yeah- a life of crime. I bet you think that you're the clever one -clever one-, the one that got away. Well, I've seen them come and seen them go -oh yeah- but I have it made.
I'm as sweet as I can be, I've earned respectability. Do you know I have a history? You won't get to pull the wool over my eyes. Fool, if you think you'll make a fool of me.
Nothing you do remotely new. It all been done, when I was young. In younger days I went astray. You mighta say, it's all a haze. It's all been done, your brand new craze. It all begun at Momma's place...
