Some say that we're reckless

They say we're much too young

Tell us to stop before we've begun

We've got to hold out till graduation

Try to hang on Maxine



While the world is sleeping

We meet at Lincoln Mall

Talk about life the meaning of it all

Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl

Try to hang on Maxine



Mexico City is like another world

Nice this year they say

You'll be my senorita

In jeans and pearls

But first let's get off this highway



We'll move up to Manhattan

And fill the place with friends

Drive to the coast and drive right back again

One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then

Try to hang on Maxine
