Adolescent Love

I was only a boy I looked younger than the others Only hair on my head And 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 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 when you grow up you'll find There'll be hundreds more just like her" But I said, "Teacher, you don't understand" 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
