Tony Bennett And The Count Basie Orchestra - Growing Pains lyrics
rate meOne day your mama drops the hem of your skirt<br />
Next day you give up yelling what's for dessert<br />
You can't explain it but you're one solid hurt<br />
Baby, you've got growing pains<br />
<br />
Your Christmas penny doesn't look half so bright<br />
Papa's not president since maybe tonight<br />
When you're not quite so sure that Mom's always right<br />
Baby, you've got growing pains<br />
Nothing's wrong, just growing pains<br />
And they'll never hurt too long<br />
<br />
When there are cobwebs in dreams that you weave<br />
When there's no magic in the words 'Make believe'<br />
When doubt comes peeping out and tugs at your sleeve<br />
Baby, you've got growing pains<br />
<br />
When you come home from school and don't slam the door<br />
Ride down the banisters or slide 'cross the floor<br />
When you don't cry for every toy in the store<br />
Baby, you've got growing pains<br />
They're not bad, just growing pains<br />
You'll be awfully glad you had
