Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright
[Verse 3]
A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright
[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
Alright
