This lyrical composition delves into the complexities of youthful love and the illusionary expectations often associated with it. The singer reflects on her past experiences, expressing regret over her naivety in pursuing boys who did not share her feelings or intentions. She uses the term "teenage fantasy" to symbolize a common yearning among young people for an idealized, almost unattainable kind of love. The song also highlights the paradoxical nature of desire - we crave what we can't have, but lose interest once we possess it. Ultimately, she emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and personal growth before committing to another person. The narrative serves as a cautionary tale about rushing into relationships without understanding oneself first.
Teenage Fantasy
Lyrics
You weren't the boy I thought I knew
Maybe I was blind, I was young, I didn't have a clue
You were the topic of my lunch times
I'd bore the girls about our chats
And get upset when you didn't text back
I was warned by my brothers to find another lover
Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me
And I was warned by my brothers to find another lover
Stop falling for these boys who didn't want the same as me
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it (want it)
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it
I've got a lot of things to do
What if I had been a fool
And thought I was in love with you?
I need to grow and find myself
Before I let somebody love me
'Cause at the moment I don't know me, mm
When I was told by my father, if I look into the future
Do I really see this boy that I think I've fallen for?
And I was told by my mother, if I look into the future
Do I really see this boy that I think I've fallen for?
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it, no
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it
When we are young, we all want someone
Who we think is the one just to fit in
There's no need to rush, take your time
Life's a big old ride, sit back and enjoy the vibe
When we are young, we all want someone
Who we think is the one, just to fit in
There's no need to rush, take your time
Life's a big old ride, sit back and enjoy the vibe
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it
We all want a teenage fantasy
Want it when we can't have it
When we got it, we don't seem to want it
