She's So Young - The Pursuit of Happiness

How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad So young, so good to me Spend my morning in the schoolyard Spend the evening on the boulevard You're like a woman trapped in a cage It's so hard to act your age When you're so young, so bad You're so young, so bad (how could you be) So young, and so good to me The girls at school won't even hold hands But you're going with the singer in a rock and roll band You should be home doing your history But you're dancing and a-drinking with a fake I.D. And you're so young, so bad You're so young, so bad (how could you be) So young, and so good to me Two more years and you'll be seventeen But you'll be burned out and wasted from the things you've seen Or just be getting your second wind And starting everything all over again You should be home playing with your dolls Instead of here playing with my balls Your daddy's got detectives following you But they're getting such a kick out of the things you do And you're so young, so bad You're so young, so bad (how could you be) So young, so good to me How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad So young, so good to me How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad So young, so good to me How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad So young, so good to me How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad So young, so good to me How could you be so young, so bad So young, so bad

Because we're young, because we're gone We'll take the tide's electric mind, oh yeah? oh yeah We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh Because we're youn, because we're gone We'll scare the skies with tiger's eyes, oh yeah? oh yeah We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh Let's chase the dragon... ...from our home high in the city where the skyline Stained the snow, I fell for a servant who kept me on the boil We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon from our home!

She's so strange And she wore a black moustache And she pilfered all the petty cash She went to Birmingham She'll soon be in the can She's so cruel And she knew just what to do And while the cats were all sniffing glue They played their silly games And now they'll take the blame She's so poor Only now while she's looking back She sees her story on the paperback What will become of her? There's not much left for her She's so, ohh Oh, oh, ohh Hey, hey, hey La-la-la-la-la Ohh, huh, huh Hey La-la-la-la-la Hey...

Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine Came up short and I tried again The New York stole the heart right off my sleeve Fell asleep with a broken wheel, and something kept me rolling still Both eyes closed waiting for the American dream Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Found a song in Carolina left a tip at every dinner Always running late on Eastern time Put a hundred in the offering plate And wondered if those pearly gates would open if I found the perfect rhyme Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness It's a stranger, it's a dollar, it's my name on a big marquee It's a million miles away, and it's right in front of me Yeah, I keep on running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running (I keep on running) changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Yeah, it's all just my pursuit of happiness
