Hate to relate it, baby
Hate to relate it, baby
Real life is so uncertain
It keeps letting you down
Real action happens behind the curtain
No use to step in line
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Real life is a Rorschach ink plot
You see what you're told to see
Adolescence is a boa constrictor
In the act of swallowing an animal
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm somehow just plain and ordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
Thought it might be an ordinary teenage sensation
Just an ordinary teenage sensation
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you want to get there fast
Before another nine day's wonder
Comes along and steals your thunder
Fast forward to the good parts
Oh you know it won't last
Prodigies born into a trap
Soon know that they will grow up
Fast forward to the good parts
Fast forward to the good parts
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Every time I feel oh so extraordinary
Hate to relate it, baby
What if I'm an ordinary teenage sensation
Hate to relate it, baby
Hate to relate it, baby
