My parents made me
In 1980
And I was born in the hot, hot summer
I loved my parents
My parents loved me
But they just couldn't love each other

Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look

I had a puppy
I named her Odie
But we had to put her down last summer
She was my best friend
When I moved to Grand Ledge
But she had a stroke and couldn't even walk

But broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look

I had a girlfriend
A pretty brown haired girlfriend
But something awful happened to us one summer
We both got real sad
And by the spring time
We forgot how to love each other
Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look

There's no moral to the story
It's just my story and I hope I haven't wasted too much of your time
It's just a song I sing
Cause song singing makes me happy
I wish that were true
I wish everyone were happy

But broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
Broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
