I was 16 going 22

If you knew me then, I probably lied to you

Boys didn′t ask for my IDSo hell, I said that I was 18

Left high school, I got no straight A's

Packed my bags right up, got out of that place

Moved to LA with no parents

Thought the world would fall right in my hands

But life′s not like the movies (movies, movies)

Boys aren't what they should be (should be, should be)

Girls are cruel and they're mean

You′re probably not the prom queen

Life′s not like the movies

Met a nice guy

Thought he would be the one

'Til I spent the night

And it was one and done

Never set your standards too high

′Cause you're gonna get let down every time

Perfect plot-twist

We′re kissing in the rain

Then your phone rings and it's her again

Saying that she′s crazy

And she doesn't mean a thing

This ain't a movie, there ain′t no happy ending

But life′s not like the movies (movies, movies)

Boys aren't what they should be (should be, should be)

Girls are cruel and they′re mean

You're probably not the prom queen

Life′s not like the movies

Couple months are right around here

Love of my life was still not found yet

And I won't begin to mention

My best friend didn′t show up on my birthday

Didn't like when I got attention

So fuck my ex bestfriend

But life's not like the movies

Boys can′t be sweet as candy

We′re still young and we're free

Don′t have to be the prom queen

(Life's not like the movies)

But life′s not like the movies (movies, movies)

Boys aren't what they should be (should be, should be)

Girls are cruel and they′re mean

You're probably not the prom queen

Life's not like the movies
