Last night I heard the sirens' song 
                        
and I followed it in the ditch.
                 
Oh baby, I'm just carrying on. 
                   
Far be it for me to bitch.

                      
Last night I heard the distant hum
                    
of another damn hurricane.
                 
Oh Sunnie tell me where you've gone. 
                               
Are you still dancing to Purple Rain?
  
                 
You took my little hand
                  
and took me to your room.
                   
You taught me how to want something
                  
so I learned how to move.


                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.
                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.

                      
Last year I heard your momma had 
                                   
a little trouble with the thin blue line.
                              
You always knew that you could understand 
            
and not undermine.

                  
You took me to your room. 
              
I let my eyes adjust.
                        
You taught me how to want something 
                   
and I learned how to lust.

                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.
                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.

             
All them years ago 
                        
you took a nervous little kid
                                      
and taught me how to slow it down just a little bit

                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.
                                  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, you made me feel so grown.
