Stay Out Late (Graduate)

I must admit that I was a good girl growing up and I never really stayed out too late... then again I was always at work and a simple phone call saying "Mom, I'm at blah blah's house" would satisfy my parents.   I never really did anything fun simply cause there's nothing to do in boring Pleasantville.   But I know of a lot of people who are not happy having a curfew.   This one's for all of you

Can I stay out late

Can I stay out late

Can I look in faces that I meet

Can I look at night life in the street

I've been staying in for so long

Can I stay out late

To mom and dad talking down to me

Just let me have fun already

Extend curfew,or else you're going down

Can I stay out late

Time is passing we can't let go

The clock does not tick in slow mo

Extend curfew for a buck

Go on fade out before I get stuck

Talking to somebody like you

You don't live the days I go through

My life will live on long after I do

Can I stay out late

Can I look in faces that I meet

Can I look at night life in the street

Won't die in the house I want to knock it all down

Can I stay out late

Window open, can I go

Yes I snuck out long ago

Cross my fingers, I don't know

Did they take you down below

Can I stay out late

Can I stay out late

Can I stay out late

Can I stay out late

Can I stay out late

Can I look at night life in the street

Can I look in faces that I meet

I'm not waiting here for time to tick

Will this song live on long after we do
