The lyrics are posted below:

I got one small thing that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine
Well I know one thing, I won't be fogotten

I don't got nothin' and I want alot
If money can't buy it I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be, long forgotten

`Cause I know what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
It's totally out of reach
Yeah, I know what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
I wanna stay young, stay young

So, hold on to 18
I know what I like babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see

I don't care about society
I don't care about responsibility
And I don't need no one
Out on my own

I won't grow old and I don't wanna die
You say I'm too young but that's a dirty lie
I wanna be, on my own now

`Cause I know what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
It's totally out of reach
Yeah, I know what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
I wanna stay young

So hold on to 18
I know what I like babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see

(Solo)

I've got one small thing that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine
Well I know one thing, I won't be fogotten

I don't got nothin' and I want alot
If money can't buy it I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18)
I know what I like babe
Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18)
They can't see what I see

Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18)
I know what I like babe
Hold on to 18 (hold on, to 18)
Hold on to 18

Hold on to 80s

[Jazzgurl101]

Dee Snider and David Coverdale had a baby.

[darwleg]

Glam Metal was fucking cool !

[scubasteve744]

@Jazzgurl101 That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.....LMAO!

[TheCrimsonification]

@TheCrimsonification His name was "Jay" Anyway, that's the story, even though I lied. It wasn't at band camp. It was in my living room, and I bet he still jerks off to that album cover. 

[TheCrimsonification]

@bibidacompta One time, at band camp, I held out the Poison album "look What The Cat Dragged In" and asked which one he'd fuck. he said "ORGY!" HAHA!! Now he has a deep hate on for gay men that wear a lot of makeup.

[bibidacompta]

@TheCrimsonification that's a cool story, tell me more

[TheCrimsonification]

I was 14 in 1984. I hated this band, but they showed up in Vancouver with White Lion, my girlfreind was a hair bitch. Why am I here?, you ask. Because I remembered how much her taste in music sucked.

[skyroe2]

i didnt know ace frehley and dee snider in this band

[kepler98]

i dont know his name, but that guy looks like from twisted sister, am i right?

[2Zero8discipline]

Always thought they should have made it big in the 80s Great Lyrics, Drums, and Hot lead Guitar with the Looks and Long Hair.

[toniaastan]

Tommy is such a good guitarist! Great song :)
