[Intro: Gracie Lawrence, Clyde Lawrence]
Uh!
Hey yeah
Oh, ooh
At 23 you said goodbye
One, two, three, uh!
[Verse 1: Gracie Lawrence, Gracie Lawrence & Clyde Lawrence]
Waitin', I'm waiting
Might start complainin'
This quarter life crisis
Is not entertaining to me
La-di-di-da
Oh it's my party and I'm gonna cry
If I want to
[Chorus: Gracie Lawrence]
You said that 23 would be the best year, that ever happened to me but
I'm 23 and that's a lie, huh
You said that 23 would be our best year, but you were messin' with me 'cause
At 23 you said goodbye
[Verse 2: Gracie Lawrence, Clyde Lawrence, Both]
Oh it's been the
Worst day, the worst day (Worst day)
Cake on a Thursday (Thursday)
Who says I can't have
Tears on my birthday, baby
La-di-di-da
Yeah it's my party and I'm gonna cry
If I want to
[Chorus: Gracie Lawrence, Clyde Lawrence, Both]
You said that 23 would be the best year, that ever happened to me but guess what
I'm 23 and that's a lie (Lie, lie, lie, lie lie lie)
You said that 23 would be our best year, but you were messin' with me 'cause
At 23 you said goodbye
[Post-Chorus: Gracie Lawrence, Both]
(You said that, you said that) Hey, yeah
(You said that, you said that) Oh-oh
At 23 you said goodbye
(You said that, you said that) Yeah you said that
(You said that, you said that) Ooh
At 23 you said goodbye
[Bridge: Gracie Lawrence, Clyde Lawrence]
Oh
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that
You said that, you said that (Oh you said that)
[Chorus: Gracie Lawrence, Clyde Lawrence, Both]
You said that 23 would be the best year, that ever happened to me but guess what
I'm 23 and that's a lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie
You said that 23 would be our best year, but you were messin' with me 'cause
At 23 you said goodbye
[Post-Chorus: Gracie Lawrence, Both]
(You said that, you said that) Oh, oh
At 23 you said goodbye
(You said that, you said that) Oh, oh
At 23 you said goodbye
