Grown Up World lyrics

Oh it's hard bein' little in a grown up world.

I bet shirley temple hated every curl.

They think our life is easy,

Like a song that's ligth and breezy.

It's enough to make you queezy,

When you know it's…

tough

Bein' little in this mixed up world.

Life is a riddle that just spins and twirls…

And we're intimidated,

When we've merely imitated

Sophisticated people that we love…

If only they'd realize that we're people too.

We're people too…

Have problems too.

But they never look at things from

our point of view,

So what can a little kid do.

I wish (stay we’d like me, live my life, my way…

They need)* see that I just might turn out ok.

But look I’m not complainin'.

That it's just kids' stuff.

I'm only explainin',

That it's real tough!

When you're caught in the middle,

There is no acquittal!

As long as you're little

In a grown up world.
