So you think you know it all
Well, that's just the arrogance of youth
I've been there and I've done it, baby
I'm telling you the truth

Your momma was a tear away
I used to think I knew it all
Thought I could play the game
And not get played, no, but then the fall

Don't you go to pull a fast one
Used to be an awful rascal
You think you invented being bad

I used to be a real ruffian
Had to become a tough one
Don't think you invented being bad

Don't you go to pull a fast one
Used to be an awful rascal
You think you invented being bad

I used to be a real ruffian
Had to become a tough one
Don't think you invented being bad

I bet you think I look respectable
You should have seen me in my prime
You'd have thought that I was headed for, oh yeah
A life of crime

I bet you think that you're the clever one, clever one
The one that got a way
Well, I've seen them come and seen them go, oh yeah
But I remain

I was sweet as I could be, I've earned respectability
Do you know I have a history?
You won't get to pull the wool over my eyes
Fool, if you think you make a fool me

Nothing you do, they're mocking you
Get out the club when I was young
In younger days I went astray
The momma say

It's all I hates, it's all been done
Your brand new craze
It all begun at momma's place

Don't you go to pull a fast one
Used to be an awful rascal
You think you invented being bad

I used to be a real ruffian
Had to become a tough one
Don't think you invented being bad

Don't you go to pull a fast one
Used to be an awful rascal
You think you invented being bad

I used to be a real ruffian
Had to become a tough one
Don't think you invented being bad

Know it all, know nothing at all

Don't you go to pull a fast one
Used to be an awful rascal
You think you invented being bad

I used to be a real ruffian
Had to become a tough one
Don't think you invented being bad
