Loverboy, what would it take
To shake a single tear from you?
If I only knew
That's beside the point
I made the bed, paid last month's rent
And cleaned the room
You can keep the broom

I tried love, I tried blame
I tried hard to explain
You got half of my maturity
You're twice my age
It's embarrassing
But it's clear as day

I've seen the stars, I've read the signs
Give it to you simple like a nursery rhyme
It's gonna be hard, but you'll be alright
Baby boy, it's time to hold that teddy bear tight
And it goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sing it for you one last time
You can kiss my lullaby

Loverboy, what would it take (ooh)
To shake that new self attitude
I'm not mad at you
But if I had a choice
I'd take a couple long-awaited shots at you
It's so overdue

I tried love, I tried blame (-blame)
I tried hard to explain
You got half of my maturity
You're twice my age (-age)
It's embarrassing (It's embarrassing)
But it's clear as day (-day)

I've seen the stars, I've read the signs
Give it to you simple like a nursery rhyme
It's gonna be hard, but you'll be alright
Baby boy, it's time to hold that teddy bear tight
And it goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sing it for you one last time
You can kiss my lullaby
And it goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sing it for you one last time
You can kiss my lullaby
