What's My Age Again

Here's an oldie but a goodie. Often I'm asked to confirm my age, not a bad thing I guess with many still thinking I'm on the younger side of my 20's. Guess the years have been good even if the weekends are starting to take their toll.

"What's My Age Again" by Blink 182 sums up my feelings on the matter mostly. I don't appear to ever really act my age so people are often surprised to know that I'm a bit older that at first assumed.

Thankfully my friends rarely say I should act my age. I guess when some think they've got it made and are all grown up they forget all the magic that they knew when so much younger. I'm clinging to that for as long as I can. After all, we don't stop playing because we get old, but rather get old because we stop playing.

I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
I'm still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops
And your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy

And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody loves you when your 23
I'm still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is caller ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody loves you when your 23
And you still act like you're in Freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

That's about the time she broke up with me (Please stay)
No one should take themselves so seriously (with me, please stay)
With many years ahead to fall in line (with me, please stay)
Why would you wish that on me? (with me)
I never want to act my age (please stay)
What's my age again? (with)
What's my age again? (me)

What's my age agaaaaaaaaain?


Simple answer really, 12.
