  • 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

    Hold up a second, now 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
    I need some kind of miracle, 'cause I lost all my faith in science
    So I put my faith in me

    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)
    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

    (Everybody singing)
    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

    Back in suburbia kids get high and make out on the train
    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 gotta get away

    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)
    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

    (Everybody in the front)
    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
    Hey

    Bet your mama never told you that
