Lyrics of
Thirteen

The song is a classic teenage love song written by Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. The lyrics reflect the youthful feelings and desires for simple romance, such as walking someone home from school or going to the dance together.

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pooooooool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll taaaaaaaaaake you


Won't you tell your dad, get off my back
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shaaaaaaaaaake you

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's no, well, I can go
I won't maaaaaaaaaaake you
