The Teen Beguine

You want to be special
You want to be different
You want to fit in every day
You need independence
You need to have friends
You need to believe you're OK
You can't trust your parents
They don't understand
How could they know what you're going through
Most of the time you don't trust yourself
'Cause what you want keeps changin' too

Doo doo doo doo doo (Repeat 3 times)

Chorus:

Adolescence
It's a bummer, its a drag, it's so exciting
All the changes, in your body, in your feelings, in your mind
Lots of secrets, to be whispered, to be kept, to put in writing
Where am I going, when will I get there, what will I find

Adolescence
It's the essence of confusion
There is no doubt
It's a crazy maze
But you can make it through
Just hold on to your self-esteem
And don't forget to follow your dream
We know you can do it
'Cause we've all been there too
We know you can do it
'Cause we've all been there too
