Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen

She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream

Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'

She's just a child goin' on seventeen


She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes

They don't mean what they say

They don't say what they mean

She reads the signs, reads between the lines

But it makes no difference

There's no reason or rhyme


Just hold on girl, as long as you can

In time you'll learn what you don't understand

It's the human condition, it's the nature of man


CHORUS:

Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy

Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy


This city boy, he don't want no control

He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll

But here they come to turn the pressure on

Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone


The time has come now to be a man

Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can

You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself

When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else


The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down

I am who I am, I've had a good look around

There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found


CHORUS:


There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand

Sooner or later, ya come to understand

The human condition, it's the nature of man


CHORUS:
