[Verse 1]
I was only a boy, I looked younger than the others
Only hair on my head and a 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

[Refrain]
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm

[Verse 2]
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 whеn you grow up, you'll find
There'll be hundrеds more just like her"
But I said, "Teacher, you don't understand"

[Chorus]
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
