Growing Pains Lyrics - Katy Perry

"Growing Pains" 

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!

NEW SONG: Katy Perry - Never Really Over - Lyrics 

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 

Just when I've learned 

all I can, 

those growing 

Pains up 

and kick on in again! 

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 

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 

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 

These growing pains 

Oh, baby don't worry 

about a thing!
