Teenage Dirtbag...
She doesn't know what she's missing
She doesn't know who he's been kissing
He doesn't know her heart belongs to someone new
He doesn't know why she's been so blue
She knows there's been talk around
She knows he's lower than the dirt on the ground
He gets angry at the drop of a hat
He always knows where his girl is at
Each of them is thinking of a better one
Yet both would rather die than to tell anyone
She goes out alone at night
While He holds someone else tight
He thinks she's sitting in her room alone
While She watches him grope her from a pay phone
She finally sees that she's free
But will He actually let her be?
He sees her watching him and She smiles and waves
When his jaw drops she turns to walk away
He jumps up and catches up
She shakes her head no as she walks
He stops in his tracks
While She doesn't look back
She heads over to a new house
Feeling sheepish and as small as a mouse
She's ready to knock
But her heart is about to stop
Will he take her in his arms
Or will he break her heart and cause her harm
She knocks, taking that chance
Not stepping away from love's new dance
Her heart beats when he opens the door
It seems as if he's surprised as his jaw drops to the floor
Her heart stops racing
because it's her future she's facing
I left him for you
I can't believe it's over I can't believe it's finally through
She said as her voice lowered in sound
She watched as he looked around
How can this be true I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Could this be a joke, Maybe?
No, she replied
Then he begged her for the truth not a lie
She dropped her purse and moved in for the kill
his body heat was taking away the night's chill
Feeling their lips together
She knew it could be forever
His arms wrapped around her waist at last
Not letting another moment pass
He's always wanted her just didn't have the guts
To tell her she was the only one who drove him nuts
He's glad she dumped the jerk for him
But the reason why stirred a question within
Did he care if she wanted love or just sex
Of course not it didn't matter one way or the next
When she stepped back away from him she smiled
I'm just a teenage dirtbag so can I just stay awhile
He smiled and stepped aside
while she walked inside
