When I go to bed
I fall straight asleep
My doona is warm although it's plain
But there are times
When I have to count sheep
I see them jumping around my brain
And sometimes at night
My leg gets so sore
It feels like there's something wrong
But my mummy says
It'll be alright
That it won't last too long
It's just growing pains
Not anything more
It's just growing pains
I've had 'em before
It's just growing pains
Just a little bit sore
And when I've grown up, I'll still be me
Only more
It's my little kid body
Growing up when I dream
I'm stretching out so tall
And when it hurts a lot
Dad gets really proud
And measures me on the wall
But I worry still
About when I get old
What's it all gonna mean
It only hurts one leg
So if just one leg grows
Oh I don't wanna lean
It's just growing pains
Not anything more
It's just growing pains
I've had 'em before
It's just growing pains
Just a little bit sore
And once I've grown up, I'll still be me
Only me
Oh my mum and dad
Tell me sometimes
They had 'em too
When they were still little pups
But now they just groan about everything else
Maybe that's why they're called grown ups
I have to admit
Although sometimes it aches
I know it won't drive me insane
But knowing my little bro
I reckon he just might
'Cause he's a real life growing pain
I won't forget
My heart dear Nell
Your growing pains I felt
I promise that
You'll never lean
And I know that in time you'll understand what I mean
It's just growing pains
It's not anything more
And when I grow up
When will I grow up?
Oh it's just growing pains
Just a little bit sore
And when I am big
Yeah, no longer a kid
Oh I'll still be me
Only grown up
