Oh, your Cmama wishedthat you hadn't used
AmHer red lipstick and her best perfume
GFrom the middle drawer of the bathroom that you Fraided
[Pre-Chorus]
You did it Gway back when and you still do
FI understand, but baby, truth is
[Chorus]
CIt's okay if it's for Emshowin' up your friends
Or Flightin' boys hearts like bottle rockets
FProvin' to yourself that you still got it
CIt's all right if you wanna see Emif my eyes
Are gonna take Foff that dress you just put on
And give Fyou that look that says let's stay home

While your Gfirst kiss was on the front porch Fwaitin'
[Pre-Chorus]
You did it Gway back when and you still do
