Some say that we're reckless    They say we're much too young    Tell us to stop before we've begun    We've got to hold out till graduation    Try to hang on Maxine       While the world is sleeping    We meet at Lincoln Mall    Talk about life the meaning of it all    Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl    Try to hang on Maxine       Mexico City is like another world    Nice this year they say    You'll be my senorita    In jeans and pearls    But first let's get off this highway       We'll move up to Manhattan    And fill the place with friends    Drive to the coast and drive right back again    One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then    Try to hang on Maxine
