Lyrics

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love Disappointment came to me and booted me And bruised and hurt me
But that's how people grow up That's how people grow up
I was wasting my time Looking for love Someone must look at me and see their sunlit dream I was wasting my time Praying for love For a love that never comes From someone who does not exist
And that's how people grow up That's how people grow up
Let me live before I die ...Not me, not I
I was wasting my life Always thinking about myself Someone on their death-bed said: "There are other sorrows, too." I was driving my car I crashed and broke my spine So, yes, there are things worse in life Than never being someone's sweetie
That's how people grow up That's how people grow up That's how people grow up That's how people grow up As for me, I'm OK For now, anyway
