Should Have Listened

by Desiree - Virgo

Mamma told me 
to stay away,
I didn't listen
and did things my way,
She said I'd 
get hurt again,
and still every night
I'd leave the house by ten,
He made me happy
at the time,
and now I'm sour
like a lime,

I didn't listen
when I was told,
now I have a 
new life to mold.

I drank a few
and got behind the wheel,
and on my way
to get a delicious meal,
I got pulled over 
by the police,
they gave me a warning
and said this behavior needs to sieze,
I didn't get a ticket
but they drove me home,
I swore I'd never do it again
on my grave stone,

but I didn't listen
when I was told,
now I have a 
new life to mold,

I met up with that boy
a few days later,
the one my mom hates
but that didn't matter,
We had some beer
and went driving around,
we got ticketed by a cop
when we were headed south-bound,
my car was towed
and our parents were called,
I was so upset that I
stood there and balled,

I should have listened 
when I was told,
and now I have
a new life to mold.

I got my car back
and went back to the boy,
we slept together
ohh what a joy,
A couple weeks later
our relationship ended,
I soon found out I was
pregnant...how splendid,
now we don't speak
not even about our unborn,
I was left in the dust
to simply mourn,

I would have listened
when I was told,
If I knew I'd have 
an extra life to mold.
