[Verse 1]
Hey! I'm only fourteen, sickly 'n thin
Tried all of my life just to grow me a chin
It popped out once, yeah, but my dad pushed it in
Tell me, why did he hurt me? Lord, he's my next of kin
He's a mex-i-kin

[Verse 2]
I'm lonely 'n green; too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here I could feature my hurt
Scared of the future and I hope I don't grow
Listen, I know nobody likes me 'cause everywhere that I go
They say no, they say no, they say no
NO
They say NO

[Verse 3]
Now I'm older, got a place in the town, babe
Got a chin on my shoulder n' it keeps growing down 'n down 'n down
I'm horny 'n lonely and I wish I was dead
Somebody tell me, why am I livin'?
Lord, I wanna be dead instead, that's right, I said
I wanna be dead instead, now dig this:

[Outro]
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Get the picture?)
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
(Yes, I wanna be dead instead)
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Be dead in bed, yeah)
I wanna be dead
(Ow . . . )
In bed please kill me
(Just as sure as my name is Terry Ted, Terry Ted)
'Cause that would thrill me
(Kill me)
I wanna be dead
(Thrill me)
In bed please kill me
(Fill me with some love)
'Cause that would thrill me
(Kill me)
I wanna be dead
(Thrill me)
In bed please kill me
(Yea-ah-ow!)
'Cause that would thrill me
[Outro 2]
One more time for the world!
I wanna be dead
(Yeah-hey!)
In bed please kill me
(I wanna be dead instead)
(Be dead in bed)
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
(Love my little girl)
In bed please kill me
(Gimme some head, hey-hey-hey)
'Cause that would thrill me
('Cause I'm only fourteen)
I wanna be dead
(Sickly 'n green)
In bed please kill me
(Feelin' really lean
I'm in love, see
Ow!)
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
(Too small for my shirt)
In bed please kill me
(Feature my hurt)
(Yeah-hey!)
'Cause that would thrill me
