I should have know that you were only just fifteen

You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen

Old enough to stand out but to young to stand with pride

So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin

And the cool parties never let you in

I can still relate to being so high and dry

Don't cry...

You're just at an awkward age

We'll all be fine

Disgraceful under pressure

Don't toe the line

You're just at an awkward age

Don't cry- just an awkward age

Don't cry

You're just at an awkward...

You look at me like i know what's going on

I'm looking back and i wonder what went wrong

I really thought by now a few things might clarify

I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days

And a body that sometimes disobeys

I get into the parties but i hate them 'cos i'm shy

Oh my...

I'm still at an awkward age

We'll all be fine

Disgraceful under pressure

Don't toe the line

You're just at an awkward age

Don't cry- just an awkward age

Don't cry

You're just at an awkward...

We're supposed to be happy

Supposed to be tough

Supposed to be flawless

Snd buy the right stuff

They want us all swimming

Don't care if we drown

Do don't let 'em take you down

It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide

Besides...

We live in an awkward age
