Lyrics

I was wasting my time

Trying to fall in love Disappointment came to me and booted me And bruised and hurt me

But that's how people grow up That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time Looking for love Someone must look at me and see their sunlit dream I was wasting my time Praying for love For a love that never comes From someone who does not exist

And that's how people grow up That's how people grow up

Let me live before I die ...Not me, not I

I was wasting my life Always thinking about myself Someone on their death-bed said: "There are other sorrows, too." I was driving my car I crashed and broke my spine So, yes, there are things worse in life Than never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up That's how people grow up That's how people grow up That's how people grow up As for me, I'm OK For now, anyway
