You weren't the boy I thought I knew
Maybe I was blind, I was young
I didn't have a clue
You were the topic of my lunch times
I'd bore the girls about our chats
And get upset when you didn't text back

I was warned by my brothers
To find another lover
Stop falling for these boys
Who didn't want the same as me

And I was warned by my brothers
To find another lover
Stop falling for these boys

We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it

I've got a lot of things to do
What if I had been a fool
And thought I was in love with you?
I need to grow and find myself
Before I let somebody love me
Because at the moment I don't know me

When I was told by my father
If I look into the future
Do I really see this boy
That I think I've fallen for?

And I was told by my mother
If I look into the future
Do I really see this boy
That I think I've fallen for?

We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it, no
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it we don't seem to want it

When we are young
We all want someone
Who we think is the one
Just to fit in

There's no need to rush
Take your time
Life's a big old ride
Sit back and enjoy the vibe

When we are young
