You would think that I could find A simple song, a photograph of mine To show this public eye what I have to offer I may not have a PHD Or speak in eloquent philosophy I'm nothing more than simply me, you see What I am trying to say, hey, hey I'm just a babe in so many ways I'm still growing, still stretchin' Still breaking in these new shoes Looking for a way to make a mark of my own I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears It's a part of life, so there's no need to fear These growing pains that I'm going through I don't regret, I'm not ashamed That I haven't yet begun to speaketh ways - As the wisest of men - oh, perhaps some day But for now I'm grateful To be a part of the family tree While The Man upstairs does His work on me It's a job that may take eternity to complete Just when I've learned all I can Those growing pains up and kick on in again I'm still growing, still stretchin' Still breaking in these new shoes Looking for a way to make a mark of my own I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears It's a part of life, so there's no need to fear These growing pains that I'm going through Time after time One more time, and again Will it ever end? It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise But young or old I am told, it's the same Oh, these growing pains never go away So I'll just keep on trying What I am trying to say, hey, hey I'm just a babe in so many ways I'm still growing, still stretchin' Still breaking in these new shoes Looking for a way to make a mark of my own I'm just a Spring chick, wet behind the ears It's a part of life so there's no need to fear These growing pains that I'm going through These growing pains... Oh, baby, don't worry about a thang Thank you Thank you very much Thank you, thank you!
