(todd cerney/stewart harris)

Sneakin' out of the back door way to soon
Not a clue about love under the moon
But she's seen all of those movies
And she's talked to all her friends
And there ain't no way she can wait

She's too young and her heart's on fire
And the lights are bright tonight
She's made up her mind that she's gonna find
Someone to hold her tight
She doesn't know how the game really goes
How her world can come apart
She's too young and her heart's on fire
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart

She's been hidin' that red dress far too long
Got her hair done and mama's makeup on
And she's practiced in the mirror
What she's seen in magazines
And she knows how that will drive them crazy

She's too young and her heart's on fire
And the lights are bright tonight
She's made up her mind that she's gonna find
Someone to hold her tight
She doesn't know how the game really goes
How her world can come apart
She's too young and her heart's on fire
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart

Simple curiosity can
Sometimes get you burned
What she thinks she knows by now
I guess she's gonna learn

She's too young and her heart's on fire
And the lights are bright tonight
She's made up her mind that she's gonna find
Someone to hold her tight
She doesn't know how the game really goes
How her world can come apart
She's too young and her heart's on fire
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart

Yeah, she's a dead ringer
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart
She's a dead ringer for a broken heart
