Boy, it’s late, walk me home Put your hand in mine At the gates stop and say “Be my Valentine.”
You are by far The brightest star I’ve ever seen And I never dreamed I’d be so happy That I could die
Used to say that I was beautiful Like Cleopatra But you the king too so I would say “Back at’cha!”
I flip my hair and make you stare And put my make-up on And make up stories ’bout my life And put on Very Cherry Bomb
And even then I knew that we were Something serious That you would dominate my thoughts of Radio Two serials
I’d see you in the hall like “Hello, hello” Up against the wall like “Let’s go, let’s go!”
Let me take you out of this town Let me do it right now, baby Dancing till dawn, staying forever young Let’s get out of this place ‘Cause you’re starting to waste Within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face If you don’t get me out of this place Now, baby, I’m not crazy I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
If you’re lonely, baby, hold me You’re my only one Watching television, kissin’ Till we see the sun
So far, we are Safe in the dark And I never dreamed That I’d be the queen And I’d be so happy That I could die
You used to call yourself “the Don” And called me “Queen Diana” You always make me blush I say “Shut up, boy, you bananas.”
You pull my hair and push me down And chase me, make me run You play me Biggie Smalls and then My first Nirvana song
So even then when no one’s friends Were really serious I knew you loved me by the way You looked in second period
I’d see you in the hall like “Hello, hello” Up against the wall like “Let’s go, let’s go!”
Let me take you out of this town Let me do it right now, baby Dancing till dawn, staying forever young Let’s get out of this place ‘Cause you’re starting to waste Within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face If you don’t get me out of this place Now, baby, I’m not crazy I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
I know that they say That all I want Is to have fun And get away for rainy days
I know that they think I’ve come undone But I’m in love I wanna run, run, run away
I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
Let me take you out of this town Let me do it right now, baby Dancing till dawn, staying forever young Let’s get out of this place ‘Cause you’re starting to waste Within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face If you don’t get me out of this place Now, baby, I’m not crazy I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
