Seventeen Candles

Every days a distraction
All the animals just looking for action
And Emilys free styling rhymes
Smoking in the girls room to kill some time

'Cause all they want is a girl
Who parties hard and doesnt bother to argue
And nobodys worse for the wear
Everybodys cool with the I dont care

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But Ive a feeling that she believes
Shes a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it dont get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?

Just as bad as a half stack
Of vodka tonic bottled up in her backpack
Shes badder than Big Heavy James
She tunes it all out but the fact remains

That all we do is talk about the future
Like theres someway to control it
Why not just enjoy the ride?

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But Ive a feeling that she believes
Shes a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it dont get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?

She said, If this is the night life, Id rather stay in
You call this a good time, I just call it a trend
If this is as good as it gets then Im packing up my shit
And Im gone and Im not coming back"

Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight
But Ive a feeling that she believes
Shes a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it dont get much better
Which only upset her, could this be as good as it gets?
