I can make you mad and hurt you,
but I wont,
I can stomp my feet like a little five year,
but I wont,
I can steal a car and get arrested
but I wont,
I can join a gang and kill people,
but I wont,
I can get drunk and lose my virginity and have unprotected sex,
but I wont,
I can get pregnant and not know who the father is,
but I wont,
I can dropp out of high school and not look for a job,
but I wont,
I can run away and live on the streets,
but I wont,
I can do crack cocaine and ruin my life,
but I wont,
I can jump over a cliff and kill my self just to end the pain,
but I wont,
I can make you mad and hurt you...
I can, but I wont.
