Bring your fake ID with you tonight
And we'll dance
If you play it cool
We'll get in with a chance
When it's hard to act my age
When I look like a twelve year old
And I hate it when I don't get in
Left stranded in the cold
You're tellin' me a secret
I don't know if I can keep it
Someday soon you're gonna realize
You would've had me fooled
If it wasn't for your eyes
So fake ID
Oh can't you see
I hate these city lights
And I wanna see you work for me
But I can't get it right
You're tellin' me a secret
I don't know if I can keep it
I've been around in this city
Something about you don't seem right
I couldn't tell if you were pretty
Something about you don't seem right
Maybe it's not my night
You're tellin' me a secret
I don't know if I can keep it
Bring your fake ID with you tonight
And we'll dance
You're tellin' me a secret
If you play it cool
We'll get in with a chance
I don't know if I can keep it
I've been around in this city
Something about you don't seem right
I couldn't tell if you were pretty
Something about you don't seem right
Maybe it's not my night
