Teenage Idol Lyrics

A lonely boy in the city
Standing tall up to his blue jean
Jacket and eyes of pity
He's got a dream, now he told his Papa
"Don't you worry Daddy,
I'll be back to show you the life I've made"
With a tear falling from his eyes
He knew what he wanted to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol

Standing in his hometown
Waiting for the bus that will take him
Farther than he's ever been
Packed his bags and kissed his sweetheart
"Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
To show you what a life I made"
With a tear falling from her eyes
She knew that he'd love to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee
He'd live so happily, as a teenage idol

He's in another city
Standing tall up to his satin
Jacket and eyes of pity
He's got it all except for his Papa
"Don't you worry, Daddy
I've shown them what a pretty life I've made
Even though I'll miss you badly
You know I always wanted to be"

Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Yes, I love to see, my name on the marquee
Oh, I'd want to be, yes, I got to be
Oh, I'd to be a teenage idol
