‘13’

[Verse 1]
I feel like I’m in pig tails and cut-off jeans
I’m wearing braces and all knock-kneed
One look in the mirror
I gotta reach for the Clearasil
I get so nervous and sweaty palms
I got a drawer full of training bras
I stay up all night wondering
If someone’s gonna ask me to the prom

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t believe you look at me, and just like that
Suddenly you send me right back, right back

[Chorus]
And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen
And I’m so shy I can’t even speak
And my heart beats, thundering heart beats
And I could die every time we meet

[Verse 2]
You got me chasing rainbows and fairy tales
I’m wearing lip gloss and glitter nails
Keep hoping we’re gonna get to second base
I’m looking for a reason to call your phone
But then I’m prayin’ you won’t be home
I never know just what to say after you say “Hello”

[Pre-Chorus]
The awkwardness, embarrassment, the agony
Suddenly it all comes rushing back to me

[Chorus]
And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen
And I’m so shy I can’t even speak
And my heart beats, thundering heart beats
And I could die every time we meet

[Verse 3]
Got his picture in my pocket, got a letter in my pocket
Sayin’ just the way I feel
Every night hold my pillow tight
And pray that this love is real
I write poetry in my diary
All about how much he really means to me
Can’t vote, can’t cope, there’s just no hope
‘Cause I’m thirteen

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t believe you look at me and just like that
Suddenly you send me right back, right back

[Chorus]
And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen
And I’m so shy I can’t even speak
And my heart beats, thundering heart beats
And I could die every time we meet

And I’m thirteen, horribly thirteen
And I’m so shy I can’t even speak
And my heart beats, thundering heart beats
And I could die every time we meet
