13 - Lee Ritenour

I FEEL LIKE I’M IN PIG TAILS AND CUT OFF JEANS

I’M WEARING BRACES AND ALL KNOCK-KNEED

ONE LOOK IN THE MIRROR I GOTTA REACH FOR THE CLEARASIL

I GET SO NERVOUS AND SWEATY PALMS

I GOT A DRAWER FULL OF TRAINING BRAS

I STAY UP ALL NIGHT WONDERING

IF SOMEONE’S GONNA ASK ME TO THE PROM

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU LOOK AT ME AND JUST LIKE THAT

SUDDENLY YOU SEND ME

RIGHT BACK, RIGHT BACK

AND I’M THIRTEEN

HORRIBLY THIRTEEN

AND I’M SO SHY

I CAN’T EVEN SPEAK

AND MY HEART BEATS

THUNDERING HEART BEATS

AND I COULD DIE

EVERY TIME WE MEET

YOU GOT ME CHASING RAINBOWS AND FAIRY TALES

I’M WEARING LIP GLOSS AND GLITTER NAILS

KEEP HOPING WE’RE GONNA GET TO SECOND BASE

I’M LOOKING FOR A REASON TO CALLYOUR PHONE

BUT THEN I’M PRAYIN YOU WON’T BE HOME

I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY

AFTER YOU SAY HELLO

(Repeat 1st b-section)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

GOT HIS PICTURE IN MY LOCKET

GOT A LETTER IN MY POCKET

SAYIN JUST THE WAY I FEEL

EVERY NIGHT HOLD MY PILLOW TIGHT

AND PRAY THAT THIS LOVE IS REAL

I WRITE POETRY IN MY DIARY

ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH HE REALLY MEANS TO ME CAN’T VOTE, CAN’T COPE

THERE’S JUST NO HOPE

CAUSE I’M THIRTEEN

THE AWKWARDNESS, EMBARASSMENT,

THE AGONY

SUDDENLY IT ALL COMES RUSHING BACK TO ME
