Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreamin' about you all day in school cant concentrate
Wanna have your voice in my ear till mama come and say its too late
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Another secret meeting
On the fifth floor staircase
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want u to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I write your name in my book your last name my first I'm your Mrs.
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Hey boy
You know I really like being with you
Just hanging out is fine
So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too boy
Third base
Betta pump the brakes and baby slow down
I gotta go home now
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Nothing really matters
The lyrics in Alicia Keys’s song “Teenage Love Affair” express the innocent and intense romance she experienced during her teenage years. The song takes the listener through a narrative of a secret rendezvous between two teenagers who are deeply in love. The lyrics are written in a way that allows the listener to picture the different scenarios where they secretly meet, like on the fifth-floor staircase or through a phone call at home. Alicia’s intense love for her partner is evident in the chorus where she expresses that love is of utmost importance, and nothing really matters to her, not even what other people say.
Throughout the song, Alicia Keys uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of teenage romance. She is giving the listener an insight into the emotions that come with the experience. Her lyrics move from being playful and innocent to going deeper into the desires and feelings of the young couple. The song also reflects on the societal pressures of teenage love and society’s expectation of people in that age range. Alicia is pleading that this love affair would not be judged harshly by others because it is important to her.
Overall Teenage Love Affair is a classic, touching on a romantic topic that has appealed to generations of music lovers. The song's magnetism lies not just in the melody but also in the youthful energy it exudes. Alicia has succeeded in capturing a time where love felt significant, real, and when anything was possible.
