I feel like I’m in pig tails and cut-off jeans

I’m wearing braces and all knock-kneed

One look in the mirror

I gotta reach for the Clearasil

I get so nervous and sweaty palms

I got a drawer full of training bras

I stay up all night wondering

If someone’s gonna ask me to the prom

I can’t believe you look at me, and just like that

Suddenly you send me right back, right back

And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen

And I’m so shy I can’t even speak

And my heart beats, thundering heart beats

And I could die every time we meet

You got me chasing rainbows and fairy tales

I’m wearing lip gloss and glitter nails

Keep hoping we’re gonna get to second base

I’m looking for a reason to call your phone

But then I’m prayin’ you won’t be home

I never know just what to say after you say “Hello”

The awkwardness, embarrassment, the agony

Suddenly it all comes rushing back to me

And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen

And I’m so shy I can’t even speak

And my heart beats, thundering heart beats

And I could die every time we meet

Got his picture in my pocket, got a letter in my pocket

Sayin’ just the way I feel

Every night hold my pillow tight

And pray that this love is real

I write poetry in my diary

All about how much he really means to me

Can’t vote, can’t cope, there’s just no hope

‘Cause I’m thirteen

I can’t believe you look at me and just like that

Suddenly you send me right back, right back

And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen

And I’m so shy I can’t even speak

And my heart beats, thundering heart beats

And I could die every time we meet

And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen

And I’m so shy I can’t even speak

And my heart beats, thundering heart beats

And I could die every time we meet
