Hey girl in the strobing light
What your mama never told you

You can cry when you get older

He said: "Careful, 'cause you might just get your wish"

Hey girl in the strobing light
What your mama never told you
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older
Young boy by the traffic light
What your daddy never told you
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older

Bet your mama never told you that
