Hey daughter, go outside and smell the flowers
You've been indoors for hours and hours
And so out in the spring road
Verges plump with weeds that always grow
No matter that they're dragging tar on the path
I dropped some acid in my morning bath
If you've a better solution, then bathe me in it
I don't wanna spend my late teens in the clinic
I want to live but there's not much in it
Young and gifted but there's no denying
That she's got spots

Eighteen no
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got spots

She's got thirty-five different creams and pastes
Lined up around the sink
And not one of these aforesaid ointments
Has done anything
If you've a better solution, then bathe me in it
I don't wanna spend my late teens in the clinic
I had a purple patch once
But there was a lot of red in it
I wanna get the clouds from the skies
Get the fringe out of my eyes
And wear sleeveless dresses that don't zip up
With matching accessories that don't match up
I don't wanna wait for my life to clear up
I wanna complexion made of that peachy stuff
You see in magazines

Eighteen no
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got spots
Eighteen no
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got spots
Eighteen no
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got...
Eighteen no oh
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got spots
Eighteen no oh oh
She's at a late teen low
Because she's got spots
Eighteen no
She's at a late teen low
'Cause she's got spots
