[Verse 1]
I watched my friends all graduate
They're getting jobs in different states
I haven't seen them since the day
I moved out to LA
They did college right after high school
My parents never made that rule
They probably think that I'm not cool
For not doing the same
[Pre-Chorus]
As the years go by
I wipe the tears and try
Not to let it get me down
‘Cause they don't get it just like how
[Chorus]
My mom calls me Molly
Even though it's not my name
No one undеrstands it
But some things you can't explain
Of all the things thеy'd call me
Nothing feels the same
We've always done things differently
But I turned out okay, I'd say
Hmm, I wouldn't have it any other way
[Verse 2]
When I was born my mom and dad
Were dating but it didn't last
You'd think it would hurt real bad
When I was growing up
But I never lived in different homes
‘Cause through it all they still stayed close
I know it don't make sense to most
But it made sense to us
[Pre-Chorus]
As the years go by
It might sound weird but I
Never let it get me down
You might not get it just like how
[Chorus]
My mom calls me Molly
Even though it's not my name
No one understands it
But some things you can't explain
Of all the things they'd call me
Nothing feels the same
We've always done things differently
But I turned out okay, I'd say
Hmm, I wouldn't have it any other way
[Outro]
Hey honey, I just called to say goodnight to you
And I just wanted to see how your day went
How school went
Um, it’s seven, uh, seven-ten, -fifteen, my time
No, I wouldn’t have it any other way
You don’t have to call me back but, um, I just wanted to know I was thinking about you
I wouldn’t have it any other way
