Woke up this morning, still half asleep
With one eye open I attempt to brush my teeth
Go to the closet, what should I wear
Better check the weather before I do my hair

Next thing I knew, from downstairs I hear you
Telling me how to dress, my hair looks bad
I think you'll never understand me

Sometimes, parents just don't understand
That I, would rather learn from my mistakes
Then do the things they want me to
For once I wish they knew

Friday night, it's party time
Call up my clique to see what they had in mind (hey!)
Apparently, the place to be
Is stuck up in my bedroom watching my TV
How could I forget I'm grounded once again
I know they'll never understand me

Would rather learn from my mistakes
Then do the things they want me to
For once I wish they knew

Don't do this don't do that is all I hear
Inside my head
Wouldn't you rather me listen
than go in one ear and out the other end
For once I wish you'd understand

Sometimes parents just don't understand
That I would rather learn from my mistakes
Than do the things they want me to
For once I wish they knew

Sometimes parents just don't understand that I
Would rather learn from my mistakes
Then do the things they want me to
For once I wish they knew
