Maybe she’s just too old for me

Livin' in a teenage fantasy

Feelin' there’s so much we could be

She’s got me wishin', wishin' I was 23

Yeah, she’s crazy, but I don’t care

She’s sexy and she’s a millionaire

The way she gets me is so unfair

Not you're typical rich girl

She’s smoking hot, if you know what I mean

Tight jeans and she loves her photography

And everything that’s in between

She’s been around the world

And know she’s graduated

And I’m not quite educated

I’m young, you know

Age is overrated

Maybe she’s just too old for me

Livin' in a teenage fantasy

Feelin' there’s so much we could be

Every time I’m with her, callin' me a dreamer

Maybe she’s just out of my reach

Maybe her boyfriend’s a marine

Even though I’m nameless (hey)

She’s famous (hey)

She’s got me wishin', wishin' I was 23

Oh oh

Oh oh

Wishin’ I was 23

Oh oh

She’s got me wishin', wishin' I was 23

I think about her everyday

Goin' insane thinkin' about what to say

What am I doin' anyway?

Am I even on her radar?

I know she’s graduated

I’m not quite educated

I’m young, you know

Age is overrated

Maybe she’s just too old for me

Livin' in a teenage fantasy

Feelin' there’s so much we could be

Every time I’m with her, callin' me a dreamer

Maybe she’s just too old for me

Maybe her boyfriend’s a marine

Even though I’m nameless (hey)

She’s famous (hey)

She’s got me wishin’, wishin' I was 23

Oh oh

Oh oh

Wishin’ I was 23

Oh oh

She’s got me wishin’, wishin' I was 23

And if I was older

She would let me take her

To watch the stars at night

We can dance, we can kiss, underneath moonlight

And if it got colder,

She would let me hold her

Wrapped up in fairytales,

Gotta wake up from this dream

Maybe she’s just too old for me

Livin' in a teenage fantasy

Feelin' there’s so much we could be

She's got me wishing

Maybe she’s just out of my reach

Maybe her boyfriend’s a marine

Even though I’m nameless (hey)

She’s famous (hey)

She’s got me wishing, wishing I was 23

Oh oh

Oh oh

Wishing I was 23

Oh oh

I’ve got her wishing,

Wishing she was 17

Oh oh

Oh oh

Wishing I was 23

Wishing I was 23
