Growing Up And I'm Fine - Mick Ronson

Never got lost on this road before

Never saw a scene on the street before

Never got chose with the rest of the boys

So I must have needed something more

Always wound up in a cell for the night

Always had faith from the midnight fight

Always got caught by a squad car light

Kicking at a slot machine

Now, I got a little of Veronica, love

The way she is checking me out is enough

Somebody’s messing my brain, growing pains

Ooh, I got a little of Veronica, love

The way she is checking me out is enough

I’m glad to say that she’s mine, right down the line

Growing up and I’m fine

Didn’t find luck and I ran out of prayer

Couldn’t find much that I wanted to share

Looked for a key, but I found despair

Must have done something bad

Now I see through to the back of this town

Kind of wear love like a long lost crown

Now I take pride in the way I behave

Never seen stalking around

Now, I got a little of Veronica, love

The way she is checking me out is enough

Somebody’s messing my brain, growing pains

Ooh, I got a little of Veronica, love

The way she is checking me out is enough

I’m glad to say that she’s mine, right down the line

Growing up and I’m fine

Don’t bug me 'cause he ain’t your man

Smell trouble on the back of your hand

I won’t fight, so just back down

Because you know I might change my mind

I can’t tell you but you know what’s wrong

You gotta know that’s she’s gone, gone, gone

I can tell you’re not satisfied

I don’t want to dent your pride
