she's engaged to an industry man
got an old rent controlled and a brand new sedan
i'm on hold with con edison
the space heater went dead again

she played the cop, i played the martyr
she got the rock, i rocked the party
she got the credit and i got carded

Chorus
i have hardly grown up since you met me
i might never grow up if you let me
if i had to do it all over, well i'd do it again
i'd come running right back to all the trouble i'm in
because i have hardly grown up since you met me

i never learn but i like to pretend
and i've got lots of company in my circle of friends
she never calls but she never forgets
she's got a secret tattoo with my home address

she told the truth, i told the story
she got the goods, i got the glory
she's never wrong and i'm never sorry

chorus

and sometimes i wish i could be more like you were
and sometimes you wish you could be more like me

you've got that look in your eyes and you're clicking your teeth
you've got the answer on the tip of your tounge
you've got an itchy trigger finger and you're pointing at me
with the barrel of a loaded gun

she's gone away and she'l never return
cuz i never met a bridge that i couldn't burn

chorus
