This is the story of a mixed-up teen

What a dilemma, what a crazy scene

They had it out for the very last time

Never again, they made up their minds



She grew her hair and it changed her style

She wanted to stay that way for a while

She took a step and she didn't fall down

And that was just fine as long as he's not around



She got really small, hardly there at all

It took some days before she'd answer his call

And when she did, it just wouldn't sink in

Never before and never again



Never again and never before

Could two in love try to even the score

Never be lovers before you are friends

Never before and never again



He got a job, became immersed in books

His hair grew too, and that improved his looks

He stayed out nights, sometimes parties till four

Until he'd had enough, never again he swore



He took himself very seriously

He lost some friends and made some enemies

Still there were nights when he'd call out her name

Before he realized it was never again



Never again, she cried never again

We're too far apart and the days will not end

We're too far apart and I've taken the step

I've got a home now, not a place I've just slept



Never again and never before

Can two in love try to even the score

Never be lovers before you are friends

Never before and never again

Never again

Never again
