What You Say - For 15-Year-Olds

You tell me that I can't go out or walk around alone, 'Cause 15 isn't old enough to keep up on my own. You say that judging character is something that you learned, But guess what? My respect is something that is earned. They say that being 15 is the hardest age to be, Not quite a woman, or a girl, but caught right in between. So then, I think, you'll try to see, who here is really boss, But during rocky teenage years I say "try", and it's your loss. You turn your back and walk away, we'll have to wait until, You try again to say I can't which means that now I will.
