I Was Just 14 Songtext
von Jesca Hoop

Jackie′s girl comes back to church and showing through her Sunday dress
Bows to pray amongst a congregation where she can't get blessed
Mother says the baby is a punishment for having sex

My body

As a child, my mother forbade me to play alone with boys
What′s so scary and so bad and dangerous about the boys?
I formed confused and terrified and tortured obsessions with boys

My body
My body and mind

My first crush when I was only five was Jared on the swing
My first kiss with Derek in the backyard on the trampoline
My first time with Michael in the bathroom, I was just 14

My body
My body and mind
My first time
My first time was


All of life еxacting the great
Choreographеrs dance
A dramatic flamboyance of flamingos
And all the pink boys and red girls
Under spell in a trance
Stretch their necks and salute to the order of romance
Romance
Romance
Romance

My first time with Michael in the bathroom, I was just 14
I lost my mother when I lost my virginity
When I stepped on that crack, I broke my mothers back
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Mother's back
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Mother's back
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

My body

As a child my mother forbade me to play alone with boys
What′s so scary and so bad and dangerous about the boys?
I formed confused and terrified and tortured obsessions with, obsessions with

My body
My body and mind
My first time
My first time was


All of life exacting the great
Choreographers dance
A deceitful wild orchid dressed as a wasp
And all the blue wings on brown boys
Fight to get their last chance
Joke′s on you, so salute to the order of romance
Life's exacting the great
Choreographers dance

A dramatic flamboyance of flamingos
And all the pink boys and red girls
Under spell in a trance
Stretch their necks and salute to the order of romance
Life′s exacting the great
Choreographers dance

A dramatic flamboyance of flamingos
And all the pink boys and red girls
Under spell in a trance
Stretch their necks and salute to the order of romance

Romance
