I got tired of my present situation 

So I tried rollin' over the stone. 

Even tried to make a change of occupation 

But, my conscience wouldn't leave me alone. 

You know, even the rich have their problems. 

I mean, you never quite get enough. 

So you drink it away, take it out on the kids. 

And all that funky stuff 

You got growing pains 

You gotta rearrange 

Got them growing pains, yeah. 

And lately my friends have been tellin' me that 

I'm changing way to fast. 

If there's one thing I don't want to do 

It's rely on my broken-down past. 

Because I hear the call of the wild 

And opportunity is leanin' on me 

And stuck in this town for the rest of my life 

Is one place I don't want to be. 

I got growing pains 

I gotta rearrange 

Got them growing pains, yeah. 

Growing pains, oh, yeah. 

Growing pains. 

Oh, how long do you gotta grow? 

Yeah, I don't wanna grow any more. 

Got them nasty old growing pains! 

[solo] 

Picked her up at seven 

Feeling pretty good by nine. 

We cruise the local hang-outs 

It's the same places every time 

Just head for the nearest party 

Or the darkest back street 

And I'm makin' love peepin' over my shoulder 

My pants down around my feet 

Gives me growing pains. 

I gotta rearrange 

Got them growing pains. 

Got them growing pains. 

Yeah, yeah, ow! 

Got them growing pains. 

Yeah! Uh! 

Growing pains 

Growing pains 

Growing pains 

Got them growing pains, yeah, ow! 

Growing pains 

Growing pains 

Growing pains.
