lyrics
You may have missed the little signals they were really kinda subtle.
But I think you'll get the message in a while.
I don't care for your situation, or excuses of the nation.
It looks like your never gonna learn.
Don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
I don't know what rules you play by... but if we play today.
There is something I just have to say.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now, and you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify, when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view.
Don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
Because lipstick, thighs, and batting eyes don't make a lady compromise(d).
So just think about just what her sweet daddy would do to you.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now, and you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view.
Lady you can disregard my stature.
If that's all your really after.
And baby you have such nice face, so why use it in such disgrace.
It looks like your never gonna learn.
And don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
I don't know what rules you play by... but if we play today.
There is something I just have to say.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now.
And you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view. (x3)
It took a while but now I'm here with you.
