When I was thirteen I liked the boys on the TV shows Teen Beat posters pasted up on my window And I took them to the bedroom in my mind When I was fourteen I liked the girls in the punk rock bands That sexy lady Lorna Doom, she was my man And I took her to the closet in my mind I think I'm lonely but I like it this way She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way I know I'm lonely but I like myself When I was fifteen I liked the boys with the rap Shooting me with their b.b.'s and all that fucked up crap And I took them to the valley in my mind When I was sixteen I liked the man with the stand-up bass Talking slow in that real smoky place And I took them to the joint in my mind I think I'm lonely but I like it this way She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way I know I'm lonely but I like myself When I was seventeen I liked the ladies in the ad Strutting swiftly what I know I never had And I took them to the Paris in my mind Now I'm eighteen and I like the ones without a face Getting off in that real dirty place And I take them to Western or is it Vine? I think I'm lonely but I like it this way She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way I know I'm lonely but I like myself Nineteen, shit Twenty, peaked Twenty-one, I ain't done So I take them to Western or is it Vine? I think I'm lonely but I like it this way She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way I know I'm lonely but I like myself
