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!

CHORUS(*1):

What I am trying to say

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

CHORUS(*2):

Just when I've learned

all I can,

those growing

Pains up

and kick on in again!

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

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

Music break

CHORUS(*1)

CHORUS

Oh, baby don't worry

about a thang!
