Every day's a distraction
All the animals just looking for action
And Emily's free-styling rhymes
Smoking in the girl's room to kill some time
Cause all they want is a girl who
Parties hard and doesn't bother to argue
And nobody's worse for the wear
Everybody's cool with the I don't care
Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I've a feeling
That she believes she's a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it don't get much better which only upset her
Could this be as good as it gets?
Just as loud as a half-stack
Of vodka tonic bottled up in her backpack
She's badder than big heavy Jane's
She turns it all out but the fact remains
That all we do is talk about the future
Like there's some way to control it
Why not just enjoy the ride?
Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I've a feeling
That she believes she's a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it don't get much better which only upset her
Could this be as good as it gets?
She said if this is the nightlife I'd rather stay in
You call this a good time I just call it a trip
If this is as good as it gets then I'm packing up my shit and I'm gone
Seventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I've a feeling
That she believes she's a bit old for cake and gifts and party favors
Emily, everyone told her it don't get much better which only upset her
Could this be as good as it gets?
