Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A teenage dream's so hard to beat

Every time she walks down the street

Another girl in the neighbourhood

Wish she was mine, she looks so good

[Chorus]

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight

Get teenage kicks right through the night

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna call her on the telephone

Have her over 'cause I'm all alone

I need excitement, oh I need it bad

And it's the best I've ever had

[Chorus]

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight

Get teenage kicks right through the night

Alright

[Verse 3]

A teenage dream's so hard to beat

Every time she walks down the street

Another girl in the neighbourhood

Wish she was mine, she looks so good

[Chorus]

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight

Get teenage kicks right through the night

[Verse 4]

I'm gonna call her on the telephone

Have her over 'cause I'm all alone

I need excitement, oh I need it bad

And it's the best I've ever had

[Chorus]

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight

Get teenage kicks right through the night

Alright

[Chorus]

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight

Get teenage kicks right through the night

Alright
