My friends all know it
How I adore him
I've whispered to angels
What I'd do for him
He is the answer
To a teenage prayer.

He won't go steady
The crowd has told me
But I keep praying
To have him hold me
Why won't you listen
To a teenage prayer.

I wait by the window at seven
And chill when my thrill passes by
His kiss could send me to heaven
Into his arms I could fly
My girlfriend, Betty
Tells me he's lazy
But I know Betty
Loves him like crazy
He is the answer
To a teenage prayer.
