Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong, but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love
And who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Is it wrong not to always be glad?
No, it's not wrong, but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?

Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
