Growing Up

Friends are thin
Enemies are thicker
I was thrown in the thick of it
I was slicker
Thought it was over
You caught up with me
Thought it was over
It's tough being king

You know sometimes I need someone around
Someone to talk to
Someone to laugh at my mistakes
That used to be you

Growing, Growing up
Growing, Growing up

Sometimes I'm a little hasty
With things that I do not know
One thing I thought I knew, was you
But I was on the wrong side of the joke
Girls like boys who drive big cars
I like girls who can walk
Working the swing shift everyday
I don't wanna go to work

You know sometimes I need someone around
Someone to talk to
Someone to laugh at my mistakes
That used to be you

Heaven's chartreuse on a warm summer's day
It always beats standing in the rain

Growing, Growing up
Growing, Growing up

I see girls walk past me
Sweet tender smiles
They don't stop to talk to me
They're only interested in money
I used to know a lot of people
They all treated me so well
But they're all dead and gone to heaven
I'll stay here in hell

You know sometimes I need someone around
Someone to talk to
Someone to laugh at my dirty jokes
That used to be you
That used to be you
That used to be you
That used to be you
