Whatever happened 

To the teenage romance

Is it hidden in a tacky magazine

Everybody's talking

Saying trash is neat

You think it's good fun

But it's never that free

Who is the man of the moment

Does his image stand ten feet tall

Or is he just a cardboard hero

Staring down at you from your wall



You can dream but you can't touch

You can dream but not too much

You can dream but you can't touch

You can dream but not too much



Friday night 

Out on the town

It's a special date

First time around

You read all about the story book romance

He stands there waiting

And you want to hold his hand

Saturday

You're broken down

Your heart is lying somewhere

Is it lost or found



You can dream but you can't touch

You can dream but not too much

You can dream but you can't touch

If this is love it's not enough



You can dream but you can't touch

You can dream but not too much

You can dream but you can't touch

You want a love that costs too much

You can dream but you can't touch

If this is love it's not enough

You can dream of tender touch

Don't let your heart be lost to love
