What's All The Fuss About

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m three miles from home
It’s three o’clock in the morning
Don’t wanna wake Daddy up
Don’t wanna make him worry
I wanna stay out, take care of myself
Don’t worry ‘bout me, just huntin’ a party
Don’t wanna go home
Just yet

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m three miles from home
It’s three o’clock in the morning
The party’s over, the night is dead
At least that’s what buddy said
Better call it a day, better be on your way
Okay, okay, I’m going
Don’t worry ‘bout me
I’ll walk

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-fifteen in the morning
A car slows down on the deserted street
Pulls up beside me, waves me over
I’m not stupid
I can take care myself
I won’t let him hurt me

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-fifteen in the morning
A strange young man I’ve never seen before
Asking for directions to a party
I know it’s dangerous
But hey, it’s a small town
I don’t wanna go home just yet

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-fifteen in the morning
I get into the car, I close the door
I decide that this is the night
I’m sick of being the frigid one
Sick of not knowing
What it’s like

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m three miles from home
It’s three-thirty in the morning
Cruising the streets with a strange young man
The address doesn’t exist, there’s no party
He looks at me
I look at him
I wouldn’t say no if he let me

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-forty-five in the morning
The elementary school playground looks so different
Than it did just yesterday
He slips his hand into mine
His tongue into my mouth
Leads me toward the shadows

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-forty-five in the morning
We kneel on the grass, he pulls down his pants
Please baby please, just suck it
I don’t want to, it’s awkward
But what can I say?
I sealed my fate when I got into the car

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s three-forty-six in the morning
I’m sick of the suspense
Scared of my circumstances
I just want to get it over with then maybe
Go home

Let’s just do it, just fuck me
It’s all moving so fast
This hurts more than I thought it would
I asked for a condom, he said not to worry
I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I don’t know
He cums on my belly, I’m glad it’s not in me
He says that it’s time to go

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s four o’clock in the morning
I just lost my virginity
He said he’s twenty-two, I said I was sixteen
Close enough
No one cares about truth

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m two and a half miles from home
It’s four o’clock in the morning
I get back in the car
He says he should probably take me home

He says the car is stolen
He’s on the run from a halfway house
Way up in Swift Current
Guess I’m his out-of-jail lay
Just wanted a blow
Things are moving so fast

Where do you live?
I don’t want to say
I’m scared of what he would know
I direct him to a crescent a few blocks over
He doesn’t wait to see it’s not mine

I’m drunk, I’m fifteen, I’m four blocks from home
It’s four-fifteen in the morning
Sore thighs make the journey
Into the bathroom, check myself out
Blood on my thong, what a surprise
Hangover’s already pounding

I’m sober and sick and scared and fifteen
Today is Canada Day
I get up the courage to tell my best friends
What I don’t regret but shouldn’t have done
What a story, what a night
Now get your ass to the hospital
Get a morning-after pill
Check for STDs

I’m sober and sick and scared and fifteen
I could be pregnant
Could have AIDS
Might have been raped, what’s your definition
Exploited and unclean
But you wanna know the truth
I don’t regret it at all
Because now I know what all the fuss is about
Now I know I fit in.
