Girls Aloud - Why Do It? Lyrics

At thirteen you think it's cool
To dress like your friends
By fifteen you're over it
And smoking cigarettes

And now the world teach you
No one has a clue
Your friends say you're cool
So what's the point in school?

Your mom cries at night
You're dad's out of sight
Your head's such a mess
But you still know best

Now tell me where will you be?
No house, no clothes, no money
I wonder what they will say
Sell your body to pay

Why do it? Don't do it
Why do it? Don't do it fool

[Repeat x3]

You walk around
And people look at you
And they're sad to see a girl
Who looks so confused

And you wonder why
They all step away
She aint washed again
It's not just today

And now the world teach you
No one has a clue
Your friends say you're cool
So what's the point in school?

Your mom cries at night
You're dad's out of sight
Your head's such a mess
But you still know best

Soon they won't care any more
So sick of cops at the door
Then you'll wish you were daddy's girl
Oh, with your hair in a curl

Why do it? Don't do it
Why do it? Don't do it fool
[Repeat x6]

Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Do oooh, do do do do
Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Boo do boo pa do
Do oooh
[Repeat to fade]
