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 tear away 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? (repeat)
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 I 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
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?
