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.
