i got the sex talk
the how it's not cool to smoke speech
and the how to say no to drugs
lecture
from the t.v. and magazines
and the radio, my so called friends
in sex ed and health class
you tried to protect me
but it only hurt me
you taught me how to be naive
you showed me how to be stupid
you taught me how to be ignorant
i taught myself how to tie my shoes
and clean my room
and make my bed
and ride my bike
because i couldn't wait for you to do it
because you'd just keep doing it for me
and you look funny on a tricycle
you treated me like a baby
and now you still treat me like a baby
no wonder why i'm such a big baby
who can't do anything for myself
you taught me how to be naive
you showed me how to be stupid
you taught me how to be ignorant
you taught me how to be stupid
