Boys come and go at seventeen

No one's gonna make them for me
And I've got to cry my tears
It might take me years
But when it's finally here
I'll know love

But I know I've got to make
Make my own mistakes
No one's gonna make them for me
And I've got to cry my tears
It might take me years
But when it's finally here
I'll know lo
