Well I want to tell you all a story
A real true-life romance
I tried to make her world my own
But now I'm making new plans

She's just seventeen years old
Too young to even know me
But like a fool I stand in line
Cause she's got rights to own me

But I know it's all in vain
Too tough a game
For what I'm made of
She wants a teenage dream
Oh I hope it's me
Don't tell her that's love

When she's alone she's not alone for long
When she cries there's twenty shoulders she can cry on
And it drives me crazy if I'm there or if I'm gone

She don't enter contests much
She wins them without trying
And she gets everything she wants
It makes me feel like dying

But I'm tired of angel eyes
That never cry when mine always do
She keeps on telling them it's her first time
But I don't mind
Cause I will be free

When she's alone she's not alone for long
When she cries there's twenty shoulders she can cry on
And it drives me crazy if I'm there or if I'm gone

When she's alone she's not alone for long
When she cries there's twenty shoulders she can cry on
And it drives me crazy if I'm there or if I'm gone

When she's alone she's not alone for long
When she cries there's twenty shoulders she can cry on
And it drives me crazy if I'm there or if I'm gone

When she's alone she's not alone for long
When she cries there's twenty shoulders she can cry on
And it drives me crazy
