Growing Pains Lyrics

Here's your piece of paper, and there's the door

It's time for the next step, don't hit the floor

Serve the man, work with your hands, or do another four

You say, "Let's see what happens, there's gotta be something more"

But you follow anyway and decide to buy the books

Some years go by and you realize what they took

Enough green to go and buy yourself an acre

But at least they gave you another piece of paper

Growing pains

Growing pains

You thought you had it all figured out, and now you see

You're turning into the person you said you'd never be

Now it's time to find a different roof, I know it's hard to believe

With all this stress, maybe a soulmate is what you need

So you go out on the town and somebody catches your eye

You work up the nerve to walk over and say hi

The both of you ask "What's your major?" and "What's your sign?"

Spend the night with each other, and by morning say goodbye

Growing pains

Growing pains

Now you're twenty-two and you still don't know what to do

Life is all what, where, why, when, and who

It's time to find a different place, a different place to go to

Somewhere that can offer the answer for you

So you pack your bags and you find yourself on the opposite coast

For some odd reason you decide it's time to make a toast

"To new beginnings and whatever brings out the most"

Let's hope growing up doesn't make you a ghost

Growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains
