18 Candles

1. Keep your pictures in the scrapbook
Put your posters on the wall
Save your pennies in your pocket
'Cause the pressure's on us all, all oh
Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Keep your friends by your shoulder
Save your lovers in your heart
Put your enemies behind your back
That's where they always are, are
Oh, oh, it's just begun.

[Chorus:]
Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn.

2. Draw an outline in the sketch book
Erase all your regrets
You go behind the bike shed
To smoke a cigarette ah, ah
Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Emotions like a pick and mix
Don't know what you're gonna get
You're crying to the mirror now
It's all just in your head ah, ah
Oh, oh, it's just begun.

[Chorus:]
Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn.

* 13 candles, soon you'll learn
14 candles, watch them burn
15 candles, soon you'll learn
16 candles, watch them burn
17 candles, soon you'll learn
18 candles, it's my turn.

[Chorus:]
Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn.

[Chorus:]
Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn
I've 18 candles left to burn.
