[Verse 1] I was only a boy, I looked younger than the others Only hair on my head and a voice just like my mother's So I stayed quiet and fully clothed And this girl in my grade, I would dream her in my covers After saving her from the cruelty of her father Though her father wasn't cruel at all [Refrain] Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm Hm-hm-hm [Verse 2] I was head over heels, I stuffed socks into my sneakers I was hoping she'd think that I was tall enough to reach her But the teacher took my socks away He said, "You're only a boy, you're too young to really love her And whеn you grow up, you'll find There'll be hundrеds more just like her" But I said, "Teacher, you don't understand" [Chorus] The heartbreaks and the romances will come But adolescent love is a violent one The heartbreaks and the romances may come But adolescent love is a violent one
