When I was thirteen I liked the boys on the TV shows

Teen Beat posters pasted up on my window

And I took them to the bedroom in my mind

When I was fourteen I liked the girls in the punk rock bands

That sexy lady Lorna Doom, she was my man

And I took her to the closet in my mind

I think I'm lonely but I like it this way

She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way

I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way

I know I'm lonely but I like myself

When I was fifteen I liked the boys with the rap

Shooting me with their b.b.'s and all that fucked up crap

And I took them to the valley in my mind

When I was sixteen I liked the man with the stand-up bass

Talking slow in that real smoky place

And I took them to the joint in my mind

I think I'm lonely but I like it this way

She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way

I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way

I know I'm lonely but I like myself

When I was seventeen I liked the ladies in the ad

Strutting swiftly what I know I never had

And I took them to the Paris in my mind

Now I'm eighteen and I like the ones without a face

Getting off in that real dirty place

And I take them to Western or is it Vine?

I think I'm lonely but I like it this way

She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way

I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way

I know I'm lonely but I like myself

Nineteen, shit

Twenty, peaked

Twenty-one, I ain't done

So I take them to Western or is it Vine?

I think I'm lonely but I like it this way

She thinks she's lonely but she likes it this way

I guess I'm lonely but I'm comfortable this way

I know I'm lonely but I like myself
