Gary Portnoy - Growing up Hurts Lyrics

The earlier me lived on ice cream cake
And pies and shakes of course
No beans, no peas
No spinach please
Just pass the chocolate sauce

The earlier me thought life was just a
Series of deserts
Growing up hurts

Bye, bye baby
Bye, bye child
As my life evolves
I've come to see that it's not me
Around who this whole world revolves

The earlier me could break a heart
And never once think twice
But now I think that I was not
Someone this me would like

That breaker of hearts I thought I was
Was just a selfish flirt
Growing up hurts

Bye, bye baby
Bye, bye child
As my life evolves
I've come to see that it's not me
Around who this whole world revolves

A little bit of wisdom is a blessing and a curse
But not growing up
Is infinitely worse
Growing up
Growing up hurts
