Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh, can't wait to get home
Baby, dial your number
Can you pick up the phone?
'Cause I wanna holler
[Verse 2]
Daydreamin' 'bout you all day in school
Can't concentrate (Yeah)
Wanna have your voice in my ear
Till mama come and say it's too late
[PreChorus]
'Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
'Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby, baby
[Chorus]
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aye
[Verse 3]
Another secret meeting
On the fifth floor staircase
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want you to be my first, my last
My ending and beginning, yeah
I write your name in my book
Your last name, my first, I'm your Mrs.
[PreChorus]
'Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby, baby
[Chorus]
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aye
[Bridge]
Hey, boy, you know I really like bein' with you
Just hangin' out is fine
So maybe we could go to first base, because I feel you
Second base, want you to feel me too, boy
Third base, better pump the brakes, and baby, slow down
I gotta go home now
[PreChorus]
'Cause the lights are on outside (Outside)
Wish there was somewhere to hide (To hide)
'Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby, baby
[Chorus]
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
[Outro]
My baby, baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-aye
