She was 16 and 6 feet tall with a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled, start to slip and fall, teeter tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said, Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you maybe for you.. now..
But not as shaky as I must have seemed, talkin' junk to forgive a little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete but dumb luck fake confidence was getting weak
And for a sec I thought I sounded sweet, but sure enough in a gruff faint voice I heard myself speak
I could stay awhile, but sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke, but one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
