Joey Is a Punk Rocker

I've got a little problem

That's really got me low

I've got a crush on this beautiful boy

But nobody can know

'Cause for a straight-A, lily-white, virginal girl

It's wrong to like that kind of guy

And if we were ever seen together in public

My friends would scream and my mother would die

And on top of that, I wanna ask him if he likes me

Or if he thinks I bite

No matter his reply

I'll never take my eye

Off this different kind of Mr. Right

His hair is dirty

And he paints his nails black

He wears dogs tags

And patches on his knapsack

He curses like he's got Tourette's

And he tokes, and smokes clove cigarettes

And I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

But no one can know

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

With a punk rocker named Joe

Don't really fit together

We're like Mickey-D's and fine wine

I say to myself, "Megan, this will never work out

He's on drugs and you're on kick line"

But what sets him apart from the other guys

Is the soul behind his bloodshot eyes

And I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

But no one can know

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

With a punk rocker named Joe

And I wish I had the courage to talk to him

Or walk with him down the hall

And not worry about what other people say

'Cause I see the way they make fun of him

And he doesn't seem to mind at all

No, Joe don't care if they look or stare

I wish I could be that way

Last night I went to see his band play

His stage name is The Pagan

And right before they sang "The Chainsaw of Love"

He whips off his shirt and says, "This one goes out to Megan"

And in that instant I saw, I knew

That his nipples were pierced, but his heart was too

And he's in love, he's in love, he's in love

And he wants me to know

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

And I think that I'm finally gonna tell him so

So let them call me names

Whatever, let them not support me

As long as we're together, baby, I won't care

We'll be just like Kurt and Courtney

Let them look and talk and stare and sneer

I'm gonna shout it for the whole damn world to hear

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

With a punk rocker named Joe

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

And now you know
