This is for them twenty-somethin's

Time really moves fast you were just sixteen

This is for them thirty-somethin's

That didn't turn out exactly how your mom and dad wanted you to be

This is for them forty-somethin's

Well raise up your glass and laugh like a mutha...

This is for them fifty-somethin's

Hell you're halfway there baby take it to the head

Mom and dad tried to hide the world

Said the world's just too big for a little girl

Eyes wide open, can't you see

I had my first heels by the age of thirteen

Mom and dad tried to hide the boys

I swear that just made 'em want me more

At fourteen they asked me what i want to be

I said baby twenty-one, so I get me a drink

I'm not a teacher, babe but, I can teach you something

I'm not a preacher, but we can pray if you wanna

Ain't a doctor, but I can make you feel better

But I'm great at writing physical love letters

I'm a freak all day, a-a-all night (oh)

Hot top flight, boy you're outta sight

And I'm crazy all day, a-a-all night

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh) Schoolin' life

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh) Schoolin' life

This is for them pretty-somethin's

Livin in the fast lane, see you when you crash babe

This is for them sexy-somethin's

That body ain't gon' always get you out of everything

This is for them bitter-somethin's

Stop livin' in regret, baby it's not over yet

This is for them chipper-somethin's

That's high on life, baby put me on your flight

I'm not a teacher, babe but, I can teach you something

I'm not a preacher, but we can pray if you wanna

Ain't a doctor, but I can make you feel better

But I'm great at writing physical love letters

I'm a freak all day, a-a-all night (oh)

Hot top flight, boy you're outta sight

And I'm crazy all day, a-a-all night

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh) Schoolin' life

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh) Schoolin' life

You know it cost to be the boss, one day you'll run the town

For not makin' life that you decide

Baby party till the fire marshall shut this sucka down

I'm not a teacher, babe but, I can teach you something

I'm not a preacher, but we can pray if you wanna

Ain't a doctor, but I can make you feel better

But I'm great at writing physical love letters

I'm a freak all day, a-a-all night (oh)

Hot top flight, boy you're outta sight

And I'm crazy all day, a-a-all night

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life (oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

(Oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life (oh oh, oh oh, oh-oh ohh ohh)

There's not a real way to live this... for real

Just remember to stay relentless... oh yeah, oh yeah

Don't stop running until it's finished... yeah yeah yeah

It's up to you the rest is unwritten... yeah, yeah, yeah
