Teenage Dirtbag Lyrics

Her name is Noel
I have a dream about her
She rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh, how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks
But she doesn't know who I am
And she doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirt bag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirt bag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh

Her boyfriend's a dick
And he brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kick my ass if he knew the truth
He lives on my block
And he drives an IROC
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh

Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'

Man, I feel like mold
It's prom night and I am lonely
'Lo and behold
She's walkin' over to me
This must be fake
My lip starts to shake
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about?
"I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you, ooh"

Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'
Oh, yeah, dirtbag
No, she doesn't know what she's missin'

What is the Meaning of Teenage Dirtbag?

This tune is a classic anthem of adolescent angst and unrequited love. It tells the story of an outsider, a self-proclaimed "teenage dirtbag", who's infatuated with a girl named Noel. He feels invisible to her and fears her boyfriend. The protagonist's obsession with Iron Maiden serves as a symbol for his non-conformity. In a surprising twist, the girl acknowledges him on prom night, showing that she shares his taste in music and possibly reciprocates his feelings. The song beautifully encapsulates the trials of teenage life, where societal expectations and personal identities often clash. #TeenAngst #UnrequitedLove #NonConformity #IronMaiden
