My first teenage love affair

Another secret meeting
On the fifth floor stair case
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want you to be my first, my last,
my ending and beginning, yeah
I wrote your name in my book
Your last name, my first
I'm your Mrs

'Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby, baby

Chorus

Hey, boy
You know I really like being with you, right?
Just hanging out is fun

So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too
Third base
Better pump the breaks
Well baby, slow down
I gotta go home now

'Cause the lights are on outside (Outside)
Wish there was somewhere to hide (To hide)
'Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
'Cause you are my baby, baby

Chorus - x2
