Need some help here. In the car with my wife and daughter and granddaughter who is 11 and hearing the No 1 song on the radio by Olivia Rodrigo. I lost my cool and of course my filter and just sarcastically killed this song Was attacked by all 3 saying " your missing the point" its a love song,its beautiful, its sad.etc etc. and then I hit them with my feelings .
1st of all I taught drivers ed for almost 20 years . And at my school since most of my kids were inner city kids their parents who lived in NYC didn't have cars . But part of taking drivers ed was you get a blue card and at my school we schedule and take you for the road test. That in itself was a monumental task And about 99% of my kids passed there drivers test. Then having 3 daughters and one son they all got their drivers license ..So I would say getting a drivers license is one of the most important things in your life at 16 or 17.. think most of us here now can remember where you took the test and have some faint memory of that day,
Never thought anything about it until I heard the song which is now No 1 in the charts.
maybe someone can down load it here from you tube.
Olivia you got your drivers license ,your boyfriend taught you and now you drive by his house and he has left you for a blonde. [ maybe he is teaching her to drive} " but today you drive by his house and he's gone". " and I know we weren't perfect but I never felt this way before".
there are more lyrics red light,stop sign I could never love you or never felt this way before.etc someone needs to down load this song. and I know we were perfect etc,etc
Olivia.. you are 16 and just got your drivers license ..be happy and move on. he taught you hopefully 3 pt turns and parallel .. You passed you drove by his house and he's gone. So what.. I can now drive on my own and go where ever I want to go.. get over it
I think it was at that point when my wife,daughter and granddaughter started throwing things at me in the back seat saying shut up your ruining the song.. oh well I guess that is what my wife is saying the older I;m getting the more filters I'm losing. My daughter here in Austin called her 2 sisters in Philly and Orlando and they all agreed with each other.. Dad is losing it over a song about a drivers license .. so I thought maybe here someone might agree with me.. I think the no water,freezing weather and 6 inches of snow here in Austin has me losing my mind some what but Olivia be happy you can drive now

Uh Ohhhh thank you Old South.. before I said to post it from you tube I should of watched the video first . I'm starting to feel sorry for her ...maybe I should of said just post the lyrics . think I know why my crew is upset with me. She is pretty and has a nice voice ..the you tube did not help my case ... but was watching her hands on the steering wheel .. was it 10-2 or 9-3 and was she always looking straight ahead. Seat belt was on though.. thank you Old south but I think you hurt my case here.

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

It doesn't have a good beat, and you definitely can't dance to it. Thanks anyways Old South. :cool:

Plus it sounds more like a poem and then she throws in the F bombs. Why does a 19-year-old chick gotta look cheap that way? I mean what the fuck!

1st of all I couldn't find my post that I wrote here a few months ago. [page 4] Old south added to the post with the song itself and the lyrics .. thank you . Its still up there in the charts but the other day driving with my wife the song came on again.. She finally agreed with me that maybe Olivia should be happy about getting her drivers license and forget her boyfriend.. my whole point was " move on girl" lol I didn't get much support when I 1st posted but think many are so tired of the song that I'm getting a few on my side ..

just maybe one of you here are driving your car with your family and the song comes on. Then you will say " damn girl,be happy you got your drivers license.. " and then someone in the car will say something to you about how " cold" you are.. you can just tell them someone I know just killed the this song and I'm starting to agree with him
