You would think
That I could find
A simple song,
A photograph of mine
To show this public eye,
What I have to offer
I may not have a PHD,
Or speak
In eloquent philosophy!
I'm nothing more
Than simply me you see!
CHORUS (*1):
What I am trying to say
I'm just a babe
In so many ways!
I'm still growing,
Still stretchin'
Still breaking
In these new shoes
Looking for a way
To make a mark of my own
I'm just a spring chick,
Wet behind the ears
It's a part of life
So there's no need to fear
These growing pains
That I'm going through
I don't regret,
I'm not ashamed
That I haven't yet begun
To speaketh ways...
(As the wisest of men),
Oh perhaps some day
But for now I'm grateful
To be a part
Of the family tree,
While The Man upstairs
Does His work on me
It's a job that may
Take eternity to complete
CHORUS (*2):
Just when I've learned
All I can,
Those growing
Pains up
And kick on in again!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Time after time,
One more time and again,
Will it ever end?
It's the lessons
In our lives
That make us wise
But young or old
I am told it's the same
Oh, these growing pains
Never go away,
So I'll just
Keep on trying
Music break
CHORUS (*1)
CHORUS
Oh, baby don't worry
About a thang!
That I could find
A simple song,
A photograph of mine
To show this public eye,
What I have to offer
I may not have a PHD,
Or speak
In eloquent philosophy!
I'm nothing more
Than simply me you see!

Oh, baby don't worry
About a thang!
With love filled eyes and them healing hands
Hello, hello I've been waiting for so long
Don't disconnect me cause it's my last call
CHORUS(*):
For help...yeah help

CHORUS:
Cause it's 8-9-9-3-8-3-3, come on and listen to me
Take my call, collect my change,
Cause Lord I'm calling on Your name
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna say goodbye
Still fifteen minutes for my thrity-five
And where's this good in goodbye?
Cause talking to you is bringing me...
CHORUS(*):
This life...yeah life
This life...yeah
CHORUS(2x)
Music break
CHORUS(4x)
THIS IS MY LAST CALL!
