Teenage Kicks
Remi Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
Every time he walks down the street
Another boy in the neighbourhood
Wish he was mine, he looks so good

Wanna hold him wanna hold him tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night, come on!
Gonna call him on the telephone
Call him over cos I'm all alone
I need excitment and I need it bad
Cos it's the best I've ever had

Wanna hold him wanna hold him tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night, come on!

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
Every time he walks down the street
Another boy in the neighbourhood
Wish he was mine, he looks so good

Wanna hold him wanna hold him tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night, come on!

Gonna call him on the telephone
Call him over cos I'm all alone
I need excitment and I need it bad
Cos it's the best I've ever had

Wanna hold him wanna hold him tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night, come on!





Wanna hold him wanna hold him tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night, come on!

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh, I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had

Get teenage kicks right through the night, all right
