lyrics

Verse 1:
My girl, she just turned two.
She’s so cute, she’s a genius too.
I taught her how to play drums,
Even though she’s still sucking her thumbs.

But now these problems arise:
We can no longer meet eyes.
My ex, the one I despise,
So full of hate and lies,
Says I have to say my goodbyes…

Pre-chorus:
Hey!
Please get the hell away!
I can’t face you again today!
There’s no reason for you to stay!

So, now
I need to ask just how
Did you think I’d feel?
Yeah, you,
You know that me and you are through!

Chorus:
You may have fooled me before,
But I won’t listen anymore.
(Act your age! x 3)

Your reign of control is at an end,
Yet you still lie; you still pretend.
(Act your age! x 3)
(And grow up!)

Verse 2:
So full of all these empty threats,
There’s no remorse or regret,
So how can I forgive and forget?
If not for my girl, I’d wish we’d never have met.

You thought you’d get away with ease,
That I’d just pay the support fees.
Not a chance, start listening please:
I’ll call the authorities; I’ll bring you too your knees;
You’ll wish you’d never been such a tease!

Pre-chorus x 1

Chorus x 1

Bridge:
You think that you’re in control;
There’s one thing you should know:
I’m not gonna stand for this.
You’re really taking the piss!

There’s no more room for you here,
With us you do not fit.
I am sick of your lies,
Sick of all your bullshit!

Try’na stop me from seeing
My girl, her daddy she needs.
You can’t take her from me.
Don’t make two down from three.

You need to watch your mouth;
You’d better shut the hell up.
You’re nearly twenty years old,
Act your age and grow up! (Act your age and grow up!)

Chorus x 1
Act your age and grow up!
You’re nearly twenty years old,
Act your age and grow up…
