boomtown rats - kicks lyrics
i don’t get my kicks no more from cake or lemonade
bud i can’t get served no smokes or drinks
they tell me that i’m underage
at sixteen years old i don’t stand a chance
but on sat-rday when i get to the dance
it’s time-out from life
got to learn to boogaloo
‘cos i get my kicks from you
summer’s gone school’s back i feel so black inside
rules and regulations are a torture rack
is there no place for me left to hide?
at sixteen years old things have gone too far
i wanna be a movie rocker soccer star
but when you’re around i know you’ll treat me good
i get my kicks from you
i dream of you at night
do you really mean anything at all,
or am i wasting my time on you?
those other guys are so much cooler than me
i find it so hard to score
what’s it really like to know a girl
my imagination’s not enough i gotta know more
at sixteen years old i get frightened at night
presented with the truth i’m afraid i take flight
but when you’re around i know you’ll treat me good
i get my kicks from you
i get my kicks from you
