[Verse 1]
When I wake up
In the afternoon
Oh, I get so worried, I keep thinking of you
When I wake up
I’m in the same old mood
Oh, I get so worried, I don’t know what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
But why'd you wanna do it?
Why'd you wanna waste your time?
Ooh-oh
Yours and mine, mine, mine
Why would you commit
If you can’t change your mind?
Well, I guess that’s fine
But this is goodbye
[Chorus]
They’re always saying to me
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age?
[Verse 2]
I've been down for so long
I got comfortable on my knees (Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
And though I don't need you
I'm still eager to please
Nothing gives me pleasure, there’s no release
Can’t find an angle, no one believes you
I’m the guilty party
There’s nobody left here but me
[Chorus]
They’re always saying to me
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
They’re always saying to me
I got something to stage (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
They're always saying to me, they're always saying
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age?
They're always saying to me, they're always saying
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
They're always saying to me, they're always saying
Why don’t you act
Why don’t you just act your age? (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

“It was our third run at the Hottest 100, knowing that we had to follow up our first two high-ranking entries.
