My friends all know it How I adore him I've whispered to angels What I'd do for him He is the answer To a teenage prayer. He won't go steady The crowd has told me But I keep praying To have him hold me Why won't you listen To a teenage prayer. I wait by the window at seven And chill when my thrill passes by His kiss could send me to heaven Into his arms I could fly My girlfriend, Betty Tells me he's lazy But I know Betty Loves him like crazy He is the answer To a teenage prayer.
