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 olderYoung 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 olderHold up a second
Now I got something on my dirty mind
I start out with good intentions
But mess it up like all the timeI 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 meShe 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 olderYoung 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 olderBack in suburbia kids
Get high and make out on the train
Then endless incomprehensible
Boredom takes a hold againAnd 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 awayShe said
