They take away your pacifiers
They make you use the potty
You go to pre school when
You really want to watch veggie tales
Growing up is hard to do

They make you tie your shoes and
Make you ride the big yellow bus
You have to write in cursive and
Multiply do long division and spell
Growing up is hard to do

They make you obey a curfew
No dates on school night
Mom “saves too much money”
Dad says “no dates till 16”
Growing up is hard to do

Wiping little noses too many bills
Doing laundry after work
You would trade your left arm
For one good night sleep
Growing up is hard to do
