[Verse 1] It's the same mistake That I keep on repeating If I want my cake Then why can't I stop eating? If I can't decide exactly where I want to be Then I think I might someone to lie some kindness on me [Verse 2] I'm haunted most By all the same old problems Just the same old ghosts And all the same old goblins Looking over my shoulders Waiting to bring me to the ground I don't know what I told her I wish that I had not made a sound [Chorus] And every time I feel big I'm reminded who I am Just a frightened boy with friends and toys To keep my attention And who am I to worry about money and my health? To learn to love is growing up And there is nothing else [Verse 3] It's no crime to steal a person's heart It's just a waste of time It tears us all apart I haven't given much thought to victims of my own theft
Although I haven't been caught I'm serving my time none the less [Chorus] And every time I feel big I'm reminded who I am Just a frightened boy with friends and toys To keep my attention And who am I to worry about money and my health? To learn to love is growing up And there is nothing else [Bridge] Some of history's greatest men Have fail to clean up all the messes we've got ourselves in I know it's just part of the plan But I realise I need to be more like the man I was made to be The man I was made to be [Chorus] And every time I feel big I'm reminded who I am Just a frightened boy with friends and toys To keep my attention And who am I to worry about money and my health? To learn to love is growing up And there is nothing else
