Please tell me why
You pass me by
You remember every other teen
(Teen! Teen!)

You always skip me
Why didn't they tip me
How hard it is to be fifteen?
(Fifteen!)

Oh, I had to learn the hard way (Ooh-wah! Ooh-wah!)
What life is all about (Ooh-wah! Ooh-wah!)
Of all the teens I had to be (Ooh-wah! Ooh-wah!)
The one who gets left out (Ooh-wah!)

Oh!

(Oooohh...)

Don't count me out yet
Help on the outset
I've made an effort to be seen
(Seen! Seen!)

(Oooohh...)
Someday you'll see me
So learn how to read me
Then somehow, life won't seem so mean

Hey!
(Wah!)
Just take a look at fifteen!
(Ooh, fifteen!)
