Whodini - Growing Up lyrics



Chorus (1)
It’s all just a part of growing up
Things are gonna be hard, but don’t give up
It’s all just a part of growing up
And we like to wish you all the best of luck

(Ecstasy)
Now growing up is a hell of a job
The pay is good but the work is hard
Sometimes you feel like you wanna quit
And that’s when you remember this

(Jalil)
There aint nothing new, under the sun
What’s you doing now’s already been done
Fifth period, I did the same as you
I used to play cards in my lunchroom too

(Ecstasy)
Now I used to cut class hanging out in the hall
I tipped my hat to the side cold playin the wall
Because smoking in school was a against the rules
So I did not smoke and I still was cool

(Jalil)
Now you get yours just like I got mine
wanna see you there at graduation time
Fight your battles, don’t ever run
Cause you win some and then you lose some

CHORUS (1)

(Ecstasy) Tell no more (?),(Jalil) Blind man’s bluff

(Ecstasy)
That’s just what it’s like when you’re growing up

(Jalil)
These games I used to play as a kid
Describe exactly the way I lived

(Ecstasy)
Run catch and kiss was a game I played
But losing you was a mistake that I made
I tried to have my cake and eat it too
I guess that’s why you did what you had to do

(Jalil)
Sometimes, you got to be down and out
Before you can understand what it’s all about
I guess really, to understand the story
You got to feel the pain as well as the glory

(Ecstasy)
And now that the shoe is on the other foot
I really don’t like the way that it looks

(Ecstasy and Jalil)
It took us a while but we understand now
That what comes around also goes around

Chorus (2)
It’s all just a part of growing up
Things are gonna be hard, but don’t give up
It’s all just a part of growing up
When you get to the point when you get fed up

CHORUS (1)

(Jalil)
When I was 10, I used to say I was 12
When I turned 15 I was bad as hell
When I was18 I was hanging out freakin’
I was cool at 18 no longer a delinquent

(Ecstasy)
I used to go to clubs with fake I.D.
Who you laughin’ at you did the same as me
Sometimes they’d let me in
Sometimes they’d put me out
I guess that’s what growing up was all about

(Jalil)
About phases and changes and re-arranges
Growing up these days is getting dangerous

(Ecstasy)
Too many people taking not enough giving
I’m just an average man just trying to make a living

(Jalil)
And I don’t have to tell you that it’s hard as hell
But this is my life and I live it well
And when I get fed up all I do is shout
“I may be down but I’m not knocked out!”
