I wake up every morning, and stare into this face
I wanna be good lookin', but I feel like a disgrace.
My friends they seem to like me, if I follow through with their dare,
But when I try to be myself, they never seem to care.
My mom, well she keeps on saying I gotta make the grade
While both my parents love me, it slowly seems to fade.
It seems like everyone I know is trying to be so cool
And every time I try, I end up just a fool.
I've thought about doing drugs, I really don't to you know
But I just don't fit in, and it's really startin' to show.
Maybe if I could make the team, I'll stand out in the crowd
If they could see how hard I try, I know they would be proud.
You see I'm still a virgin, and my friends they can't find out
'Casue if they really know the truth, I know they'd laugh and shout.
Sometimes I really get so low, I want to cash it in
My problems really aren't so bad, if I think oh how life's been.
Sometimes I'm really lost, and wonder what to do
I wonder where to go, who I can talk to.
It's tough to be a teenager, sometimes life's not fair
I wish I had somewhere to go, and some to CARE.
