The chemicals in little brains
And the kind of love that fell like rain
When I was young and unafraid
Young and unafraid

Excited when a change was near
And welcoming a stranger in
All past mistakes would softly disappear

I wanna be eighteen
I wanna be incomplete
Forget all my savings
I wanna be in too deep

The tunes would cut a deep crescendo
No lies, no guise, no innuendo
A furnaced heat, the ‘earnestly’ phase
Now, all doubled over, write your letters
Just know, in time, it will be better
You’ll end up looking fondly on these days

You’ll wanna be eighteen
You’ll wanna be incomplete
Forget all your savings
You’ll wanna be in too deep
Remember me, baby
Remember me as I feel
Only eighteen
In love so deep

Boy, boy
You’re like a record
Boy, boy
You’re like a record
Boy, boy
You’re like a record, boy

You spin me right round, baby, right round
I wanna be eighteen
You spin me right round, baby, right round
You’re like a record, boy

You spin me right round, right round
I wanna be eighteen
You spin me right round, honey, right round
You’re like a record, boy

You wanna be eighteen, boy
You’re like a record, boy
You wanna be eighteen, boy
