Lyrics to the theme song that sets the stage for the show "A Teenage Girl" by American Standard
What's it like to be a teenage girl?
What are you going through growing up ... in this world?
Here at the turn of the century,
have you established your identity?
What are your future hopes, goals, and dreams?
How do you feel about your self esteem?
Image isn't everything, but I know it's on your mind.
Do worries of the way you look plague you all the time?
Who are the role models that guide you through your life?
You're growing older every day, so tell us what it's like.
Do you feel pressure and anxiety?
How 'bout an individuality?
Are you drowning in self consciousness?
Do you feel like you do your best?
Image isn't everything, but I know it's on your mind
Do worries of the way you look plague you all the time?
Who are the role models that guide you through your life?
You're growing older every day, so tell us what it's like.
Do you explore your sexuality?
Or are you waiting till you get married?
How do you feel about the women's role,
as the times change from the old?
