Cry When You Get Older

Hey girl in the strobing light

What your mama never told ya

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older

Young boy by the traffic light

What your daddy never told ya

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older

Hold up a second, I-I got something on my dirty mind

I start out with good intentions, but mess it up like all the time

I try to keep up appearance

But always end up way out of line, hey

I need some kind of miracle

Cause I lost all my faith in science

So I put my faith in me

He said: "Careful, 'cause you might just get your wish"

(Everybody in the back, singing...)

Hey girl in the strobing light

What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya)

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older (Everybody singing)

Young boy by the traffic light

What your daddy never told ya (Daddy never told ya)

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older

Back in suburbia, kids get high and make out on the train, yeah

Then endless incomprehensible boredom takes a hold again

And in this other dream, I'm on top of the world

Ahead of the game

Think of reality and it hits me hardcore to the brain

(We've got to get away, ooh)

She said: "There just must be more to life than this" (than this)

He said: "Careful, cause you might just get your wish"

(Everybody in the back, singing...)

Hey girl in the strobing light

What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya)

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older (Everybody in the front)

Young boy by the traffic light

What your daddy never told ya (Said your daddy never told ya)

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older

Hey

Bet your mama never told ya that

Older, older, older
