[Verse 1]
Boy, it’s late
, walk me home
, put your han
d in mine,
Let the game s
top and say, “
Be my valentin
e”
You are, by fa
r, the brighte
st star I’ve e
ver seen
And I never dreamed I’d be so happy that I could die.
You used to sa
y that I was b
eautiful, like
Cleopatra,
But you the king, too, so I would say it back at ya.
I flip my hair
and make you
stare and put
my make-up on
And make up stories about my life and that I’m very cherry-bomb.
And even then
I knew that we
were somethin
g serious,
That you would dominate my thoughts like radio deserious.
I see you in t
he hall like “
hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let’s go, let’s go.
[Chorus]
Let me take yo
u out of this
town,
Let me do it r
ight now, baby
.
Dancing till d
awn, staying f
orever young,
Let’s get out
of this place,
‘cause you’re
starting to w
aste
Within this te
enage wastelan
d.
You will never
see my face
If you don’t g
et me out of t
his place, now
, baby,
I'm not crazy.
I’m leaving, a
re you coming
with me?
[Verse 2]
If you're lone
ly, baby, hold
me,
You’re my only one.
Watching telev
ision, kissing
till we see t
he sun.
So far we are
safe in the da
rk
And I never dr
eamed that I’d
be the queen
and I’d be so
happy that I c
ould die.
You used to ca
ll yourself th
e Don and call
me Queen Dian
a
You always made me blush and say, “Shut up boy, you bananas”
You pull my ha
ir and push me
down and chas
e me, make me
run,
You play me Biggie Smalls and then my first Nirvana song
So even though
we're no one’
s friends, we'
re really seri
ous
I knew you loved me by the way you looked in second period.
I see you in t
he hall like “
hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let’s go, let’s go.
[Chorus]
Let me take yo
u out of this
town,
Let me do it r
ight now, baby
.
Dancing till d
awn, staying f
orever young,
Let’s get out
of this place,
‘cause you’re
starting to w

Within this te

You will never

If you don’t g

baby,
I'm not crazy.
I’m leaving, a

with me?
[Bridge]
I know that th
ey say that al
l I want is to
have fun and
get away for r
ainy days.
I know that th
ey think I’ve
come undone, b
ut all it was,
I wanna run,
run, run away.
I’m leaving, a
re you coming
with me?
[Chorus]
Let me take yo
u out of this
town,
Let me do it r
