Some say that we're reckless 

They say we're much too young 

Tell us to stop before we've begun 

We've got to hold out till graduation 

Try to hang on Maxine 



While the world is sleeping 

We meet at Lincoln Mall 

Talk about life the meaning of it all 

Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl 

Try to hang on Maxine 



Mexico City is like another world 

Nice this year they say 

You'll be my senorita 

In jeans and pearls 

But first let's get off this highway 



We'll move up to Manhattan 

And fill the place with friends 

Drive to the coast and drive right back again 

One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then 

Try to hang on Maxine
