I've got growing pains
Shooting through my vains
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
(What a life, what a life)

Summertime's too hot
Wintertime's too cold
I like girls with ponytails
When the day is through
Dreaming's all I do
Such strive, such strive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
(What a life, what a life)

Working after school
That's my old man's rule
Just can wait till I'm of age
Someone took my girl
My head's in a whirl
Such strive, such strive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
(What a life, what a life)

I have growing pains
Shooting through my vains
I don't like to go to school
Carrying girls' books
And getting dirty looks
How I wish I had a car
When the day is through
Dreaming's all I do
Such strive, such strive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
(What a life, what a life)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what a life
