little bobby's on the front porch

sitting alone, he's got nobody

takes a drink from his water glass

and cries to himself, he's so lonely

doesn't really want to wait

he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late

bobby's never had a girlfriend

never a date, he sits home alone

never been to the movies or

stayed up late, talking on the phone

doesn't really want to wait

he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late

he's singing la, la, la....

bangs his head against a wall

til he sees stars, but it does no good

only twelve years young, but he thinks he's old

i'd help if i could

doesn't really want to wait

he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late

he's singing la, la, la....

all his friends tell him everything

he needs to hear, but bobby don't listen

if he ever has to choose between

his friends or a girl, he won't miss them

doesn't really want to wait

he's gotta find somebody before it gets too late

he's singing la, la, la....
