Lyrics
Do You Wanna Know What I Was Like When I Was Young?
I was a perfect kid ? I never stayed up late
I never scared my sister or left food upon my plate
I was a perfect kid ? I never made loud noise
And when I finished playing I put away all of my toys?that?s why
I?m so good now I?m so great
?cuz I never got in trouble and I never made mistakes
I was a perfect kid ? I always went to school
I liked all of my teachers and I obeyed all of their rules
I was a perfect kid ? of that you can be sure
I was a better kid than there had ever been before?that?s how
I?m so good now I?m so great
?cuz I never got in trouble and I never made mistakes?so now
I?m so good and I?m so great
?cuz I always did my homework and I never stayed up late
Wouldn?t it be cool to be so perfect, too?
Then you?d never do the things that you were not supposed to do
But even if you?re not perfect every day
When you get older and forgetful you?ll say that you were perfect, too!
