Always younger than the rest They would put me to the test Pay your dues and don't complain They're just growing pains High school beauties look so fine They were always on my mind Nearly drove me up the wall Couldn't deal with them all Some more growing pains I remember it as if it only happened yesterday On the outside looking in - I was lonely Didn't know where to begin - always lonely Waiting for the light to shine I was only killing time - growing pains Well it was love at last I thought Then she wore the ring I bought But she wanted balls and chains Talk about growing pains - those old growing pains This old world keeps turning round And there's no way to change the flow Everyone will get to know Their share of growing pains
