Grow Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know I'm not a doctor yet
I know I'm glued to the TV set
And I plan on working out a bunch
And taking painting up
I cannot for the life of me
Figure out what you want me to be
So I've counterfeited destiny
For the two of us to end up
Are you an ordinary girl?
Are you lost in the woods?
Is your ordinary life
Turning out like it should?
Gonna feel it when it all goes down
Are you home right now?
Come on, hello, pick up
Gonna feel it when I hit the ground
We'll paint this town
As soon as I grow up
All I get are recorded tones
When I call you on the telephone
It says "I'll call the police if you don't leave me alone"
I don't know what I've done
And I cannot for the life of me
I've studied Sex And The City
I can't figure out what you want me to be
Besides smart, tough, and handsome
Are you even of this world?
Are you lost in the woods?
Is your ordinary life
Turning out like it should?
Gonna feel it when it all goes down
Are you home right now?
Come on, hello, pick up
Gonna feel it when I hit the ground
We'll paint this town
As soon as I grow up
Gonna feel it when it all goes down
Are you home right now?
Come on, hello, pick up
Gonna feel it when I hit the ground
We'll paint this town
As soon as I grow up
Gonna feel it when it all goes down
Are you home right now?
Come on, hello, pick up
Gonna feel it when I hit the ground
We'll paint this town
As soon as I grow up
Come on, hello, pick up
As soon as I grow up
