Learned all I need to know when I was ten years old
My mama sat me down, lit up a Marlboro
She said the world is mean,
she said the world is cold
Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
Don't know if I'll ever have enough money
No matter how much I got,
not sure if I'm ever gonna get married
Even though I found the one,
don't think that I'm ever gonna have children
If they grow up like me,
what if they end up like me?
Learned all I need to know when I was ten years old
My mama sat me down, lit up a Marlboro
She said the world is mean,
she said the world is cold
Least of my worries was sucking that smoke She
told me people leave and promises get broke
If you want anything,
then do it on your own All of my friends
would say they smell it on my clothes
Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
Every time I find me something perfect,
I look for a flaw
Every time my life is finally working,
something'll go wrong
Every time someone walks into my life,
I don't get too close
Cause nothing's worse than the hole
Learned all I need to know when I was ten years old
My mama sat me down,
lit up a Marlboro She said the world is mean,
she said the world
is cold Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
She told me people leave and promises get broke
If you want anything,
then do it on your own All of my friends would say they smell it
on my clothes Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
Never crack one window to light that Marlboro
Least of my worries was sucking that smoke
Sucking that smoke
Sucking that smoke
