Teenage Dreams

See that girl over there;
no not that one, the quiet one,
have you seen her before?
Do you know her?

Tell me everything about her.
Tell me everything you know.
Will she be here the same time next week?
Will she be here again

or is she one of those teenage dreams?
Is she one of those dreams
I will hold
in the cold
when I'm old?

Know that girl, she's gone now;
do you know where she lives?
Do you know what her name was?
Has she got a best friend?

Tell me everything about her.
Tell me everything you know.
Will she be here the same time next week?
Will I see her again

or is she one of those teenage dreams?
Is she one of those dreams
I will hold
in the cold
when I'm old?

And will I wonder what ever might-have-been
If I'd ran out of the door
and stopped her outside, in the dark;
outside, in the dark,
where she went.
