Baby, you’ve got growing pains

Your Christmas penny doesn’t look half so bright
Papa’s not president since maybe tonight
When you’re not quite so sure that Mom’s always right
Baby, you’ve got growing pains
Nothing’s wrong, just growing pains
And they’ll never hurt too long

When there are cobwebs in dreams that you weave

When doubt comes peeping out and tugs at your sleeve
Baby, you’ve got growing pains

When you come home from school and don’t slam the door

They’re not bad, just growing pains
You’ll be awfully glad you had
