Emancipation Proclamation

[Verse 1] Emancipation Proclamation No bedtime stories or family vacations I get caught being rude in your one way conversation Ain't got no video games, no cigarettes to take away [Pre-Chorus] I just need to be on my own Promise I'll call you on the phone I just need to be on my own Don't you worry about me [Chorus] Ain't growing up too fast But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone Sign the papers, Mom Yeah, sign the papers, Mom (Yeah) [Verse 2] Imagination, all creation Like lions mating, making cubs, you gotta raise them Used to eating at the table, now I'm left microwaving Can't help lying 'bout my age to the older generations [Pre-Chorus] I just need to be on my own Promise I'll call you on the phone I just need to be on my own 'Cause you doubt I was born free [Chorus] Ain't growing up too fast But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone Sign the papers, Mom Yeah, sign the papers, Mom [Bridge] 'Cause I'm really right this time I've made up my mind Know what I want and I can't waste no time I never meant to leave you behind Never even felt afraid, got to pay my own way Got to go out and make my own mistakes And like a flower I will grow (Hey) [Chorus] Ain't growing up too fast But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone Sign the papers, Mom Ain't growing up too fast But I like it like that, yeah, I like it like I don't wanna go home, I wanna live alone Sign the papers, Mom Yeah, sign the papers, Mom
