All Grown Up

Hi If you say so I can't believe you missed rehearsal again You know, it isn't all about you It affects the rest of us, what you do Oh What is wrong with you? Nothing What, my brother break your heart? Huh? 'Cause it sure broke mine when I found out he was seeing you Poor Ivy, stuck wanting the one thing she can't have You think you know me Yeah, well, you know what? I am so sick of you moping around When you've had the world handed to you Just because you're pretty I would trade places with you in a heartbeat Remember back in 7th grade? Endless games of truth or dare Double dates to Shea's arcade When I close my eyes I'm there I think my mother took this picture Back when we were all just friends Memories that fade and flicker Burn again when I pretend Did you sleep with her? No Life is short and life is strange Troubled now and troubled past Times have changed, they rearrange And little girls grow up so fast Feel it how it grows inside me Swirling ball of anguished cries Haunted, daunted, so unwanted Feel its anger in me rise Dream a dream then dash another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there call my mother Look at me, mom, I'm all grown up All those years she scrimped and saved And now, of course, it comes to this If only Ivy had behaved Or learned to stop at just a kiss It hits me, paralyzing shudder Face the music, take a bow Just another unwed mother One more sad statistic now Dream a dream then dash another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there call my mother Look at me, I'm all grown up Look at me, I'm all grown up Little lies and big decisions Who to tell and where to go? Follow someone else's vision or trust my own? 'Cause I don't know Am I supposed to love this child? Is it just that simple then? Tell me how this change will happen Tell me how and tell me when Tell me how and tell me when Dream a dream then dash another Life is there to interrupt Someone out there tell my mother Look at me, I'm all grown up Story ends in total damage It's an unforgiving world 17, how will I manage? How can I? I'm just a girl
