[Verse 1] Waiting up, your face is red I'm drunk again and home at way past ten "Your numbers on the wall" you said That they meant something different in my head [Pre-Chorus] And I would shout 'cause I believed That you were way too hard on me You would never give permission I was sitting in the kitchen, crying Papa, you would have been different But you were doing more than nine-to-five [Chorus] You get older and it hits ya Seventeen, I was bitch to ya But now I see the bigger picture (Picture, picture) [Verse 2] Packed a bag late one night Walked out tall with water in my eyes (Uh-uh) Called a cab and took a ride Came back smaller, swallowing my pride (Uh-uh) [Pre-Chorus] And I would shout 'cause I believed That you were a missing part of me You would never give permission I was sitting in the kitchen, crying Papa, you would have been different But you were doing more than nine-to-five [Chorus] You get older and it hits ya Seventeen, I was bitch to ya But now I see the bigger picture (Picture, picture) [Bridge] I thought life was made for me A hundred things I couldn't see Thought I was cool and you were mean But I was so naive [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you would never give permission I was sitting in the kitchen, crying Papa, would have been so different You were doing more than nine-to-five You would never give permission I was sitting in the kitchen, crying Papa, you would have been different But you were doing more than nine-to-five [Chorus] You get older and it hits ya Seventeen, I was bitch to ya But now I see the bigger picture
