Hey, girl in the strobing light

What your mama never told you

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 you

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older Hold up a second

Now 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 She said

"There just must be more to life than this"

He said

"Careful 'cause you might just get your wish" Hey, girl in the strobing light

What your mama never told you

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 you

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

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 gotta get away She said

"There just must be more to life than this"

He said

"Careful 'cause you might just get your wish" Hey, girl in the strobing light

What, your mama never told you

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 you

Is love hurts when you do it right

You can cry when you get older, hey Bet your mama never told you that
