Courteeners
Not Nineteen Forever (Acoustic / Remastered 2022)
[Verse 1]
She tried to peel me off the pavement
Tried to insinuate that sometimes I am in danger of going too far
Asked would I like to go for tea and toast?
Get your hand off my thigh
In the car, she turned to me and said that

[Chorus]
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourself together
I know it seems strange, but things, they change
Older woman and a younger man
Both of them doing all they can

[Verse 2]
Tried to get your attention all night long
Asked you once, I asked you twice
I asked you four times if you'd like to dance to that song
So I front crawled the crowd, down the stairs
And then I followed you out in the rain, nowhere to be found
Never mind, you'll probably never look that pretty again

[Chorus]
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourself together
I know it seems strange, but things, they change
Older woman and ever-so-slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can
[Chorus]
You're not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
I know it seems strange, but things, they change
Older woman and ever-so-slightly younger man
God bless the band, they're doing all they can

[Outro]
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
You're not nineteen forever
You're not big and you're definitely not clever
