1997

[Verse 1]

Well, I've made so many new friends

With open arms they let me in

They say they'll be with me till the end

They say they'll stick through thick and thin

It's gonna happen in 1997

[Chorus]

The crowd you like is dangerous

I heard they're just no good

I'd rather have you stay at home now like a good boy should

I heard they can't be trusted

I heard they all wear white

I'd rather have you prove me wrong than go and prove me right

[Verse 2]

Mama, please don't make it harder

Well, it's tough to love another

And it's hard to find a friend

Somebody else who has no others

Somebody else who understands

Then it happened in 1997

[Chorus]

The crowd you like is dangerous

I heard they're just no good

I'd rather have you stay at home now like a good boy should

I heard they can't be trusted

I heard they all wear white

I'd rather have you prove me wrong than go and prove me right

[Verse 3]

Mama, please don't make it harder

Well, I've made so many new friends

They say they'll be with me 'til the end

And it's gonna happen in 1997
