I was never a teenager
Always did what my parents told me
I was never a teenager
Never had a girl to hold me
Never took a sip from alcohol
Never passed a note in study hall
Didn’t know the coolest, latest bands
Carry a girl’s books or hold hands.
I was never a teenager
I liked listening to my parents’ old albums
Ended up skipping both proms
Never wore a varsity sweater
But my grades were always better
Than all the kids who were having fun
Looking back now, I wish I had some
It’s not that I was unhappy
It’s just you never get another chance to be
A teenager
Never get another chance
When you’re a teenager
Parents are away means party
Then there’s rumors of who went all the way
Graffiti on a wall says I was here
I was here too. I was here too
But no one cares when you’re a teenager
