Sugar Youth

[Verse 1]
Young and impressionable me, me
Innocently read a magazine, Pop Queen
You said in
Your interview that
"At seventeen you are the most powerful that you will ever be"
See

[Pre-Chorus]
Who gives you the right to
Sling that statement high and
Mighty, reckless, 'cause you're
New, new, new?

[Chorus]
And I don't regret the years
They've made me strong and better and
My hardships on their own
Are better than
You, you, youth, I'd never
Disrespect
The older that I get 'cause I know
That my hardships on their own
Are better than you, you, youth, and sugar
You, you, youth, and sugar

[Verse 2]
It feels like long ago it seems, well for me
It sprouted in my mind like a seed
With jealousy
I'm reminded, I am not naive
That luxury is old 'cause
We are the new, the Gwen Stefani gold
Laughing 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
Who gives you the right to
Sling that statement high and
Mighty, reckless, cause you're
New, new, new?

[Chorus]
And I don't regret the years
They've made me strong and better and
My hardships on their own
Are better than
You, you, youth, I'd never
Disrespect
The older that I get 'cause I know
That my hardships on their own
Are better than you, you, youth, and sugar
You, you, youth, and sugar (Oh, mmm, mmm)

[Outro]
Be wary of your tongue
'Cause bleeding is better
'Cause I was here when you were a young and frightened
You, you, you, you, youth
