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
