Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh
That fateful night the car was stalled
upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe
but you went running back
Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love
What was it you were looking for
that took your life that night
They said they found my high school ring
clutched in your fingers tight
Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love
Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away.
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today
Teen angel, can you hear me
Teen angel, can you see me
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love
Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please
Given that the babe in the song gets hit by a train I have always altered this line:
"I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today"
TO
I'll never kiss your lips again
We buried them todayyyyaaaaayayyyyyy...!
...As they pulled his body from the twisted wreck,
With his dying breath they could hear him say,
"Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I need her,
Tell Laura not to cry,
My love for her....will never die...."
Regards,
I hate that song. I turn down the radio everytime it plays.
Well, thanks alot! You made me cry!
