It was back in 1981, even then I couldn't dance
I wrote love notes to Tracy Lee tho I never stood a chance
Bountiful prose tho I did provide, she never wished for me
And some nights I cursed and others I cried for the love of Tracy Lee
Tracy Lee had long dark hair and she squinted when she smiled
A college girl at the new wave bar driving all us punk rock boys wild
She'd leave on the arm of some big strong guy and I wished that I was he
And I prayed to an unresponsive god for the love of Tracy Lee
Tracy Lee, Tracy Lee -- belle of my tender years
Tracy Lee, Tracy Lee -- start of my grown-up tears
Time starts small but it stacks up high over years that I can't see
And I wonder do I ever cross your mind now Tracy Lee
Well I'm older now and I'm almost smart even if I'm not quite wise
In my heart of hearts, I'm still a fool to a pair of sweet brown eyes
man of the world tho I may now seem, deep down I'll always be
Some skinny kid writing words of love to unattainable Tracy Lee
