Lyrics
[Intro]
[Instrumental 4 bars]
[Catchy guitar riff supported by light drumming and bass, setting a playful tone.]
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning, my truck was out of gas
I grabbed my hat, put on my boots, and made a dash
But when I hit the station, I forgot my wallet too
Now I’m sittin’ here in trouble, don’t know what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems like every day, I get myself in a mess
From tangled fishing lines to stains on my best dress
I swear I try to fix it, but I always fall apart
Somebody call my mama, ‘cause I need a brand new start
[Chorus]
I need an adult, somebody help me out
I need an adult, ‘cause I’m runnin’ all about
I tried to fry some chicken, now the kitchen's on fire
I’m stuck up on this ladder, and the situation’s dire
I need an adult, come and rescue me
I need an adult, ‘cause I can’t even climb a tree
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Last Friday night, I thought I’d try to grill
But I forgot the propane, now we’re hungry still
My dog ran off with my shoes, and now I’m on the chase
Ran right through a wedding, with cake all over my face
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems like every day, I get myself in a mess
From broken cowboy boots to losing my own address
I swear I try to fix it, but I always fall apart
Somebody call my daddy, ‘cause I’m falling from the cart
[Chorus]
I need an adult, somebody help me out
I need an adult, ‘cause I’m runnin’ all about
I tried to fry some chicken, now the kitchen's on fire
I’m stuck up on this ladder, and the situation’s dire
I need an adult, come and rescue me
I need an adult, ‘cause I can’t even climb a tree
[Instrumental Before]
[Verse 3]
I tried to fix the sink, but I flooded the whole place
Now I’m wading through the kitchen with a soggy, sad face
Thought I’d trim my hair, now there’s patches all around
Went to show my friends, and they just laughed and fell down
[Pre-Chorus]
It seems like every day, I get myself in a mess
From broken cowboy boots to losing my own address
I swear I try to fix it, but I always fall apart
Somebody call my daddy, ‘cause I’m falling from the cart
[Chorus]
I need an adult, somebody help me out
I need an adult, ‘cause I’m runnin’ all about
I tried to mow the lawn, but the mower ran away
Now I’m covered head to toe in green grass hay
I need an adult, come and rescue me
I need an adult, ‘cause I can’t even climb a tree
[Bridge]
Well, I’m a big kid now, but I need a little help
‘Cause every time I turn around, I’m like an elf on a shelf
If there’s trouble in the room, you know I’m headed there
With a big ol’ goofy grin, and my hands up in the air
[Chorus]
I need an adult, somebody help me out
I need an adult, ‘cause I’m runnin’ all about
I tried to make a pie, but I burned it to a crisp
Now I’m cleaning up the kitchen with a broom and a lisp
I need an
