Whatever happend
To the teenage romance?
Is it hidden in a tacky magazine?
Everybody's talking,
Saying trash is neat.
You think it's good fun,
But it's never that free.
Who is the man of the moment?
Does his image stand ten feet tall,
Or is he just a cardboard hero,
Staring down at you from your wall?
You can dream but you can't touch,
You can dream but not too much.
You can dream but you can't touch,
You can dream but not too much.
Friday night,
Out on the town.
It's a special date,
First time around.
You read all about the story book romance.
He stands there waiting,
And you want to hold his hand.
Saturday,
You're broken down.
Your heart is lying somewhere.
Is it lost or found?
You can dream but you can't touch,
You can dream but not too much.
You can dream but you can't touch,
If this is love it's not enough.
You can dream but you can't touch,
You can dream but not too much.
You can see but you can't touch,
You want a love that costs too much.
You can dream but you can't touch,
If this is love it's not enough.
You can dream of tender touch.
Don't let your heart be lost to love.
