I want to go home Where I belong 'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager When I was 16 ran away All alone on a stray What can I do what can I say I'm a lonely teenager Now I'm 17 still alone Wondering if I should go home Or maybe stay out on my own I'm a lonely teenager I'd love to go back home (back home) Where I belong (back home) I know I'd be alright If I just stay out of sight I want to go home Where I belong 'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager (I want to go back home Just let me go back home) I'd love to go back home (back home) Where I belong (back home) I know I'd be alright If I just stay out of sight I want to go home Where I belong 'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager (I want to go back home Please let me go back home) Lonely teenager...[Fade]
