Lyrics
Teenage Idol
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 the life I've made
With a tear falling from his eyes
He knew what 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 will take him
Farther than he's ever been
Packed his bags and kissed his sweetheart
Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
To show you what a life I 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
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Yes, I love to see, my name on the marquee
Oh, I'd want to be, yes, I got to be
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
