Growing up age 14, and you never felt so small
Whenever that girl walks in, you get all tongue tied and trip up
And if there's one thing I might say to you, it's why do you try so hard
If there's one thing I would say to you, it just don't try too hard
Growing up age 23, and you never seemed so tall
Such a little busy bee, in a hive full of suits and walls
And you wanna break all of them down, you stay late just get ahead
But sometimes you leave with a frown, droopy eyes and an empty bed
And if there's one thing I would say to you, it's why do you try so hard
If there's one thing I might say to you, it's just don't try too hard
Growing up age 50, and you never felt so old
Monday to Friday never slows down, it's a crazy world
You see the kids on the weekend, you say they grow up so fast
Oh but it seems to me, that your whole life is flying past
And if there's one thing I might say to you, it's why do you try so hard
If there's one thing I would say to you, it's just don't try too hard
