'Cause when you're fifteen, Somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen You take a deep breath And you walk through the doors It's the morning of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in

I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I'm not dying for it Everything that I believe is fading Now I've told you this once before You can't control me If you try to take me down you're gonna break I feel your every nothing that you're doing for

Play by the rules You're gonna miss all the fun He was a melon stealin' A do-it-anywayin' Playin' hooky from school A water tower poet class of '73 He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me

If you find a new look now Would you kick the old one out? Right now, right now Watchu' gonna do when the sun goes down? Who you gonna love when I'm not around? And I ain't tryna play the victim But I got my suspicions Sayin' you're alone

Put your hands in the air One more time If you hear me out there I've been looking for you day and night Shine a light in the dark Let me see where you are 'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind If I told you that you're not alone And I show you this is

If you're gonna do it, do it right (right) Do it with me Baby, I'm your man Call me good Call me bad Call me anything you want to baby But I know that you're sad And I know I'll make you happy

Then just walk away But we had yesterday If I've got to be strong Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone? Touch me in the morning We don't have tomorrow Wasn't it me who said that Nothing good's gonna last forever?

Ohh ohh ohh ohh We go hard or we go home We gon do this all night long We get freaky if you want ('Cause I'm a bad bitch) Who do you think you are? Na na na na (You're gonna love this)

Speeding through all of these red lights, fast life Dreaming a beautiful exit We're gonna die young You're here for a reason, oh no We're gonna die young, we're gonna die young Don't ever sell yourself short, sell your sad things Accept the new, don't

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you Ciao adios, I'm done If you're giving all of your money and time I'm onto you, yeah you I'm not your number one I saw you, with her Kissing and having fun And make out in the rain And now you take her
