Teenage Idol Lyrics - Live - Blackfoot

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
