18 Candles

Keep your pictures in the scrapbook Put your posters on the wall Save your pennies in your pocket Cause the pressure's on us all Oh, oh, it's just begun Keep your friends by your shoulder Save your lovers in your heart Put your enemies behind your back That's where they always are Oh, oh, it's just begun [Chorus] Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen When I was 16, thought I knew it all Now I'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me I've 18 candles left to burn Draw an outline in the sketch book Erase all your regrets You go behind the bike shed To smoke a cigarette Oh, oh, it's just begun Emotions like a pick 'n' mix Don't know what you're gonna get You're crying to the mirror now It's all just in your head Oh, oh, it's just begun [Chorus] 13 candles, soon you'll learn 14 candles, watch them burn 15 candles, soon you'll learn 16 candles, watch them burn 17 candles, soon you'll learn 18 candles, it's my turn [Chorus] x 2
