COMING OF AGE

I ain't no young blood, young gun, no sugar in my tea
I'm not the place I come from, but somewhere in between
Dividing lines, ooh, I ain't no stranger to goodbye

And when the winter's over, flowers gonna bloom
And I'll be waiting, patient, a child in the womb
Here comes the light, this time when I'm born
I won't be crying and not to be dramatic, but

Working up my appetite before I meet the dawn

I feel it coming on, burning like a fever
We're here until we're gone, make me a believer
Let's keep it classy but make it nasty (like the drum and the bass)
Back of the taxi, this moment's passing (it's a coming of age)
Coming on, burning like a fever
Now pour me something strong, make that body weaker
Let's keep it classy but make it nasty (like the drum and the bass)
Back of the taxi, this moment's passing (it's a coming of age)

I'm no virgin, praying somewhere on my knees
I'm at the front cue wasted singing in the streets
Oh, I'm alive, ain't nothing too polite between these thighs
These thighs, oh

Fell asleep with my makeup on
'Cause you know I gotta wake up strong
Double taking the mirror, uh
Got an hourglass figure
And you know I'm waiting on no one
And you know you better put me onto some
It's on, get up, get up and get gone

Working up my appetite before I meet the dawn

I feel it coming on, burning like a fever
We're here until we're gone, make me a believer
Let's keep it classy but make it nasty (like the drum and the bass)
Back of the taxi, this moment's passing (it's a coming of age)
Coming on, burning like a fever
Now pour me something strong, make that body weaker
Let's keep it classy but make it nasty (like the drum and the bass)
Back of the taxi, this moment's passing (it's a coming of age)

On a black night, chasing the sunrise, stars and the streetlights
Lasso the Moon like riding a wave
Counting the days
On a long drive, foot on the gas, I'm tempted to crash
Turned on like a flashlight, riding the wave
Riding the wave

I feel it coming on, burning like a fever
Now pour me something strong, make that body weaker
Let's keep it classy but make it nasty (like the drum and the bass)
Back of the taxi, this moment's passing (it's a coming of age)

It's a coming of age
