A lonely boy in the city
|
Standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity
|
He's got a dream, now he told his Papa
|
"Don't you worry Daddy
|
I'll be back to show you what a life I've made"
|
With a tear falling from his eyes
|
He knew that he wanted to be
|
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
|
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
|
Standing in his hometown
|
Waiting for the bus that'll take him
|
Farther than he's ever been
|
Picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart
|
"Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
|
To show you what a life I've made"
|
With a tear falling from her eyes
|
She knew that he'd love to be
|
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
|
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
|
Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee
|
He'd live so happily, as a teenage idol
|
He's in another city
|
Standing tall up to his satin jacket and eyes of pity
|
He's got it all except for his Papa
|
"Don't you worry, Daddy
|
I've shown them what a pretty life I've made
|
Even though I'll miss you badly
|
You know I always wanted to be"
|
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
|
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
|
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
|
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
|
Yes, I want to be, oh, I've got to be
|
Oh, I'd want to be a teenage idol
|
Yes, I'd love to see, my name on the marquee
|
I'd live so happily as a teenage idol
|
Oh, I'd want to be, yes, I've got to be
|
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
|
