Lyrics

a lonely boy in the city	, standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity, he's got a dream, now he told his papa, "don't you worry daddy, i'll be back to show you what a life i've made", with a tear falling from his eyes, he knew that he wanted to be, oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be, oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol, standing in his hometown, waiting for the bus that'll take him, farther than he's ever been, picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart, "don't you worry honey, i'll be back, to show you what a life i've made", with a tear falling from her eyes, she knew that he'd love to be, oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be, oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol, oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee, he'd live so happily, as a teenage idol, he's in another city, standing tall up to his satin jacket and eyes of pity, he's got it all except for his papa, "don't you worry, daddy, i've shown them what a pretty life i've made, even though i'll miss you badly, you know i always wanted to be", oh, i want to be, yes, i've got to be, oh, i'd love to be a teenage idol, oh, i want to be, yes, i've got to be, oh, i'd love to be a teenage idol, yes, i want to be, oh, i've got to be, oh, i'd want to be a teenage idol, yes, i'd love to see, my name on the marquee, i'd live so happily as a teenage idol, oh, i'd want to be, yes, i've got to be, oh, i'd love to be a teenage idol
