I got tired of my present situation

So I tried rollin' over the stone.

Even tried to make a change of occupation

But, my conscience wouldn't leave me alone.

You know, even the rich have their problems.

I mean, you never quite get enough.

So you drink it away, take it out on the kids.

And all that funky stuff

You got growing pains

You gotta rearrange

Got them growing pains, yeah.

And lately my friends have been tellin' me that

I'm changing way to fast.

If there's one thing I don't want to do

It's rely on my broken-down past.

Because I hear the call of the wild

And opportunity is leanin' on me

And stuck in this town for the rest of my life

Is one place I don't want to be.

I got growing pains

I gotta rearrange

Got them growing pains, yeah.

Growing pains, oh, yeah.

Growing pains.

Oh, how long do you gotta grow?

Yeah, I don't wanna grow any more.

Got them nasty old growing pains!

[solo]

Picked her up at seven

Feeling pretty good by nine.

We cruise the local hang-outs

It's the same places every time

Just head for the nearest party

Or the darkest back street

And I'm makin' love peepin' over my shoulder

My pants down around my feet

Gives me growing pains.

I gotta rearrange

Got them growing pains.

Got them growing pains.

Yeah, yeah, ow!

Got them growing pains.

Yeah! Uh!

Growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains

Got them growing pains, yeah, ow!

Growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains.
