Lyrics

It makes you weak
And it makes you wonder
What's it all mean and who am I did I do the right things
at the right time
heaven knows that I have tried
but you don't get many second chances and we're only running out of time

So learn your lessons
learn them well
and always love
and when in doubt, don't ever run
Cuz this growin' up ain't what they'd have us believe
no it ain't easy
it ain't always fun

take a hit
you don't have to win
son, learn to eat your pride
pick your friends up
and earn your family's love
Try to be the last in line
... you won't get many
second chances and we're only running out of time

so learn your lessons
learn them well
and always love
and when in doubt, don't ever run
Cuz this growin' up ain't what they'd have us believe
It ain't easy
And it ain't always fun

So Grow up strong
and grow up right
and take your turn
Son, try not to fight
And win or lose
it's all the same to me
so hold your head up high
son, let me see YOU

so learn your lessons
learn them well
and always love
and when in doubt, don't ever run
Cuz this growin' up ain't what they'd have us believe
Cuz It ain't easy
And it ain't always fun

no it ain't easy
but it's a lot of fun
