(it's Hard Bein' Little In A) Grown Up World Lyrics - Nikka Costa

Oh it's hard bein' little in a grown up world 

I bet shirley temple hated every curl 

They think our life is easy 

Like a song that's ligth and breezy 

It's enough to make you queezy 

When you know it's tough 

Bein' little in this mixed up world 

Life is a riddle that just spins and twirls 

And we're intimidated 

When we've merely imitated 

Sophisticated people that we love 

If only they'd realize that we're people too 

We're people who 

Have problems too 

But they never look at things from our point of view 

So what can a little kid do 

I wish they would let me live my life my way 

Then they'd see that I just might turn out ok 

But look I'm not complainin' 

That's just kids' stuff 

I'm only explainin' 

That it's real tough 

When you're caught in the middle 

There is no aquittal 

As long as you're little 

In a grown up world
