Cry When You Get Older

Lyrics

[Chorus] Hey girl in the strobing light What your mama never told ya 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 ya Is love hurts when you do it right You can cry when you get older [Verse 1] Hold up a second, I-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 [Pre-Chorus] She said: "There just must be more to life than this" He said: "Careful, 'cause you might just get your wish" (Everybody in the back, singing...) [Chorus] Hey girl in the strobing light What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya) Is love hurts when you do it right You can cry when you get older (Everybody singing) Young boy by the traffic light What your daddy never told ya (Daddy never told ya) Is love hurts when you do it right You can cry when you get older [Verse 2] Back in suburbia, kids get high and make out on the train, yeah 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've got to get away, ooh) [Pre-Chorus] She said: "There just must be more to life than this" (than this) He said: "Careful, cause you might just get your wish" (Everybody in the back, singing...) [Chorus] Hey girl in the strobing light What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya) Is love hurts when you do it right You can cry when you get older (Everybody in the front) Young boy by the traffic light What your daddy never told ya (Said your daddy never told ya) Is love hurts when you do it right You can cry when you get older [Outro] Hey Bet your mama never told ya that Older, older, older
