I know you think that I'm worthless
I know you think that you're sure it's not right for me
And your daughter to be what we want to be

She just wants attention and you give it to her
Living in detention, she's got to get away
Got her life in a bag and she's on the run
Girls really do just wanna have fun

When she turns 18
She'll finally be free to do what she wants to do
When she turns 18
She'll choose between me and you

Guess who she's gonna pick?
(Oh, oh, oh)
Guess who she's gonna pick?
(Oh, oh, oh)
Guess who she's gonna pick?
(Oh, oh, oh)

When she turns 18
(Oh, oh, oh)
When she turns 18
(Oh, oh, oh)
I know how to treat her right
And I know she wants to stay the night
And we'll watch a movie, maybe make plans
I hope you understand

She just wants attention and you can't give it to her
She's tryin' to get to LA
She's gotta get away, 'cause she's on the run
Girls really do just wanna have fun

When she turns 18
She'll finally be free to do what she wants to do
When she turns 18
She'll choose between me and you
Guess who she's gonna pick?

Now that the stars align, it's just you and me
You'll be my girl, we'll show the world
We can take our time 'cause you're finally free
You'll be my girl

When she turns 18
(When she turns 18, when she turns 18)

When she turns 18
We're gonna have a lot to do
Oh just me and you ooh
Turns 18 she'll finally be free to do
What she wants to do
When she turns 18, she'll choose between me and you
Guess who she's gonna pick?
