Hey mom, why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you teach me a thing or two?
You just let me go out into the world
You never thought to share what you knew

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kind of the same
I've sunk out at sea, crashed my car, gone insane
And I felt so good
I wanna do it again

Hey mom, why didn't you warn me?
'Cause I found boys were something I should have known
They're like chocolate cake, like cigarettes
I know they're bad for me but I just can't leave 'em alone

So I walked under a bus (hey, yeah)
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kind of the same
I've sunk out at sea, crashed my car, gone insane
And I felt so good
I wanna do it again

(Yeah, I walked) Under a bus
I got hit by a train (yeah)
It felt so good (so good)
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again (hey, yeah, yeah)

Oh, baby, I'm so good
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

Hey mom, since we're talking
What was it like when you were young?
Has the world changed, or is it still the same?
A man can kill and still be the sweetest fun

I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kind of the same
I've sunk out at sea, crashed my car, gone insane
And I felt so good
I wanna do it again

Under a bus
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kind of the same
I've sunk out at sea, crashed my car, gone insane
And I felt so good
I wanna do it again

Under a bus
I got hit by a train
And I felt so good
I wanna do it again

    ergh ! no comments !! wellps, it's abt love obviously and she thinx tht tht was one of the things she shud definitely have bn taught abt wen she was young coz now that she's older, she finds it abig thing without ne experience. also, bcoz she's grown up, her mother and her hav become more distanced. so sad when tht happens. lol, how true is this song ?! love it !

    My neighbor introduced me to this song, and I couldn't get it out of my head afterwards. At first, I thought the lyrics were a bit odd, but it really does make since. When you aren't prepared for the roller coaster ride of falling in and out of love, then you can get into some pretty painful situations. Your first heartbreak, will feel quite similar to being hit by a train, emotionally. I think many young ladies wish their moms would've ''warned'' them about how much they could get hurt in relationships, instead of focusing only on the idea of finding ''prince charming''.
