It's Tough to Be a Teenager

by Tony Overman


It’s tough to be a teenager, no one really knows

What the pressure is like in school, this is how it goes.

 

I wake up every morning, and stare into this face

I wanna be good lookin’, but I feel like a disgrace,

 

My friends they seem to like me, if I follow through with their dare,

But when I try to be myself, they never seem to care.

 

My mom, well she keeps saying, I gotta make the grade

While both my parents love me, it slowly seems to fade.

 

It seems like everyone I know is trying to be so cool

And every time I try, I end up just a fool.

 

I’ve thought about taking drugs, I really don’t want to you know

But I just don’t fit in, and it’s really startin’ to show.

 

Maybe if I could make the team, I’ll stand out in the crowd

If they could see how hard I try, I know they would be proud,

 

You see I’m still a virgin, my friends they can’t find out

‘Cause if they really knew the truth, I know they’d laugh and shout.

 

Sometimes I really get so low, I want to cash it in

My problems really aren’t so bad, if I think how life’s been.

 

Sometimes I’m really lost, and wonder what to do

I wonder where to go, who can I talk to.

 

It’s tough to be a teenager, sometimes life’s not fair

I wish I had somewhere to go, and someone to CARE.
