I got tired of my present situation
So I tried rollin' over the stone
Even tried to make a change of occupation
But my conscience wouldn't leave me alone

You know, even the rich have their problems
I mean you never quite get enough
So you drink it away, take it out on the kids
And all that funky stuff

You got growing pains
You gotta rearrange
Got them growing pains, yeah

And lately my friends have been tellin' me that
I'm changing way to fast
If there's one thing I don't want to do
It's rely on my broken-down past

Because I hear the call of the wild
And opportunity is leanin' on me
And stuck in this town for the rest of my life
Is one place I don't want to be

I got growing pains
I gotta rearrange
Got them growing pains, yeah

Growing pains, oh yeah
Growing pains
Oh, how long you gotta grow?
Yeah, I don't wanna grow any more
Got them nasty old growing pains

Picked her up at seven
Feelin' pretty good by nine
We cruise the local hang-outs
It's the same places everytime

Just head for the nearest party
Or the darkest back street
And I'm makin' love peepin' over my shoulder
My pants down around my feet

Give me growing pains
I gotta rearrange
Got them growing pains
Got them growing pains

Yeah, yeah, ow
Got them growing pains
Yeah, uh

Growing pains
Growing pains
Growing pains
Got them growing pains, yeah, ow

Growing pains
Growing pains
Growing pains

Sometimes I feel like a man
With the whole world in the palm of my hand
But sometimes I know a man wouldn't understand
And that's when I need you right there by my side
To keep me satisfied

I see myself, I've got whiskers on my chin
I got a feelin' a whole new world is about to begin
Yeah, it sure looks like it's, it's childhood fear
When girls turn into ladies and a boy becomes a man
From child to man

And my part-time job just doesn't make it anymore
And what used to be fun is turning out ot be a bore
And my mom and dad, they're about to kick me out the door
It's a caravan
It feels like a straight line from child to man
From child to man, oh yeah

Father, I can see what you've been through
And the road you took, well, it's the best that you could do
And some things you told me, you know, they turned out to be true
You said, "When a child gets lonely, it's no different in a man."
Well, now I understand

From child to man
From child to man
From child to man

. . .


She's American made, you know what I mean
Red on black, she's a street machine
Sets ten inches off the ground with a custom plate
That says IEATZ28

Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

Yeah, '79 will be the end of the road
If you want horse power overload
Ooh, if you like kicks, just take her to the floor
And you red-line, shift them gears, hear the engine roar on my

On my Trans Am
Come on catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland
Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

And she shines on the street, yeah
And she shines at the heat
And she shines in my baby's eyes
And she shines on every other guy's

Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

T-R-A-N-S A-M
Trans Am!

From Daytona Beach down to Riverside
If there's a race, she's qualified
And my 6.6 gets a little too heavy
For a big boss Ford or a 350 Chevy

Trans Am
Come on, catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland
Trans Am

Me and my Trans Am
Come on, catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, ooh, Highway Wonderland

Yeah
Highway Wonderland, yeah

Well now, once in your life, maybe if you're lucky
You'll find someone that's right for you
And when lightning strikes you, ready or not
There ain't nothing you can do

And now, I've got to see her, you know I won't be late
The hair on my arms is standing up straight
I've got the shivers down my backbone, my stomach's turning flips
I get excited just thinking 'bout her lips

Yeah, and mother always said
"If it's real you can feel it."
Now my heart's beating fast
And my eyes can't conceal it

It's love
It sure feels like love
It must be love
It's gotta, gotta be love
'Cause it feels like, it feels like love

Held up in the night waitin' for the sun
To come up and call it a day
Well, that moment when you're thinking 'bout those things
The ones you just can't say

I got a feelin' deep inside I can't explain
Every time I fell asleep I woke up screaming your name
Started thinking of you, the feeling got strong
I jumped out of bed, I couldn't take it any longer

Just then I thought
"Hey, it's all infatuation."
I see the face
And the train left the station

It's love
It sure feels like love
I know it must be love
Gotta, gotta be love
'Cause it feels like, it feels like love

I'm in love

Yeah, it sure feels like love
It's gotta, gotta be love
It must be love
'Cause it sure feels like love
It must be love
It sure feels like love

Yeah! Must be love
I know it's love
It's modern love
Yeah! Got, got, I said, got to be love
Must be love, old-fashioned love
I'm in love
Ow! Huh
I'm talking 'bout love
I'm talkin' 'bout love
Feels like love
Yeah

. . .


She falls somewhere in between
Levi's and Vogue Magazine
She doesn't paint on her face
But what she does she does with taste

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Oh yeah, you're drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Well, let me love you baby, yeah

She kisses with her lips so tight
Ooh, it hits me just like dynamite
Her sweet, simple innocence
Makes everyone else seem like past tense

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're drivin' me insane, oh
(Plain Jane) Please, oh
Well, let me love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you

Takes a special kind of man
To love and understand
My Plain Jane
My Plain Jane, talkin' 'bout my baby
My Plain Jane, oh yeah

(Plain Jane) Ow, uh-huh, my
(Plain Jane) Ain't no body else no
(Plain Jane) Tellin' you you're drivin me insane

Her smile comes on insecure
But her eyes, they let you know for sure
Oh, you gotta look hard and deep
Her kind of lovin', it don't come cheap, no

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
My (Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're drivin' me insane. Ow
(Plain Jane) I just, want so bad
I wanna love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you

(Plain Jane) Ow! I'm talkin' 'bout my
(Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, she's my baby
(Plain Jane) See her walkin' down the street, and I just wanna love you
My (Plain Jane) come here baby
(Plain Jane) Now, come here baby
(Plain Jane) There ain't nobody else, no
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you

(Plain Jane) Ow
(Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Plain Jane)

Fight for my freedom, I don't need a gun or a knife
I just need some open space to run for my life
The ground is sinking and the walls closing in
When I get to the bottom, I get up, start all over again

Just passin' time until the big one
As we leave it all behind
And move on up to a brighter future
It's no easy climb

But I'll never say die (die, die, die)
I'll never say die (die, die, die)

My mom and dad never understood
Compared to their problems, you know, mine looked good
They screamed, "Where's the money? And where's all the love
And where's the help from the man up above?"

I never gave up my religion
As I did my teenage time
I said, "When I'm of age, I wanna walk out smilin'
Maybe I'll cry"

But I'll never say die (die, die, die)
I'll never say die (die, die, die) Ohhh

(Ooh, never say die) I'll never say
(Ooh, never say die) No I will never, never, never say
(Ooh, never say die) Oh, never say die
(Ooh, never say die)

Two generations I've been through
'69 was heavy, yeah, but what did it prove?
Just a bunch of hippies could become businessmen
And burn a body, a flag and a couple of friends

Now as we enter 1980
We're modern humans in a modern time
So all you children of the sixties
It's no easy climb

But don't ever say die (die, die, die)
Don't you ever say die (die, die, die) oh

(Ooh never say die)
(Ooh never say die) Just stand there, baby!
(Ooh never say die) Oh, never say, never say die
(Ooh never say die)

. . .


Cancelled flights, limousines
Hustle bustles, crazy scenes
First you're here, then you're there
Pretty soon man, you been everywhere

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Time ticks away, faster, faster
You run so fast you forget what you're after
You make a deal to sell your soul
Just to find out, baby, it's been sold

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Not me, baby

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Fine, white lines of crystal light
Keep us up all day and all night
Ooh, we're just forgotten boys and girls
Who thrive on cosmic toys

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Owwww

(This planet's on fire)
(This planet's on fire)

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire, yeah

Yes!

. . .


You used to be the one that I dreamed of
So good for me or so it seemed
But now I can feel there's something around you
And it's uneasy babe, but it's plain to see, yeah

Tell me, is there a moment when he doesn't linger
Behind your starry eyes, his beckoning fingers
Pull you so far away from the one who wants you
Oh will he ever stay or just tail and taunt you

You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
Oh how you keep trying, you search everywhere
You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
You look in each window but nobody's there

Wounded in love

There'll come a time when my heart is stronger
And these, these tears of misery have had their day
But for your sorry soul, the verdict is longer
And I'd, I'd give it all to you, but not this way

You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
Oh how you keep trying, you search everywhere
You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
You look in each window but nobody's there
Ooh yeah

You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
Oh how you keep trying, you search everywhere
You're wounded in love
Forsaken by nature
You look in each window but nobody's there

Wounded in love
Wounded in love
Wounded in love
You look in each window but nobody's there

Wounded in love
Wounded in love
Wounded in love
You look in each window but nobody's there

. . .


I slipped and I fell
You can never tell
She may be waiting around the next corner

And you may be immune
To fancy perfumes
But when you catch her eyes from the next room

Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you
Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you
Falling, falling, falling

The light in your eyes
Tells me I'm right
The magic in you is touching me

So hold me tonight
You make everything right
And I won't be ashamed when morning shines light on our faces

Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you
Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love
Falling, falling, falling

Falling in love
Falling in love
I'm falling in love
(Falling in love)

Can't stop thinking about you
I can't live without you
Tell me anything, babe, but don't tell me I'm wrong

A fool and his predictions
A wise man's superstitions
According to my intuition, I'm falling in love

(Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling)

I slipped and I fell
You can never tell
She may be waiting around the next corner

And you may be immune
To fancy perfume
But when you catch that smile from the next room

Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you
Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you

Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love, oh, baby
Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you

Falling, falling, falling
Falling in love with you, oh yeah
Falling, falling, falling

. . .


You say you like to have a good time
You're no different than the rest
And you know it's not the first time
That you've given it your best

But for some unknown reason
This one went straight to the top
And I can see no reason
Why it's ever gonna stop

(Straight to the top)
It ain't never gonna stop
(It ain't never gonna stop)
Goin' straight to the top
(It ain't never gonna stop)
Straight to the top

And it feels like forever
Is right there in my hand
No more playin' never, never
With those one night stands

Oh, my temperature's risin'
The thermometer's gonna pop
And I can see no reason
Why it's ever gonna stop

(Straight to the top)
It ain't never gonna stop
(It ain't never gonna stop)
We're goin' straight to the top, baby
(It ain't never gonna stop)
Oh, straight to the top

Hey, just you and me, baby, oh
There's room at the top and we're on our way there
So don't try to drag us down, because we're gonna stay there
Just you and me
'Cause that's all I ever want it to be, yeah

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)

Oh, there's never any question
When you know she's the one
Yeah, and it's all so plain and simple
Lookin' back at what you've done

Yeah, looking at the future
It sure looks sunny and bright
And it's such a good, good feelin'
When you're doin' something right

(It ain't never gonna stop)
We're goin' straight to the top, baby
(It ain't never gonna stop)
Oh, straight to the top, baby
(Straight to the top)
Oh, straight to the top

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
It ain't never gonna stop
Goin' straight to the top, yeah

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
Just you and me, baby
It ain't never gonna stop
Straight to the top, whoo

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
Goin' all the way, baby
(It ain't never gonna stop)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ow
Yeah, yeah!

. . .


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships come in
And I watch 'em sail away again

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
For the San Francisco bay
I felt I had nothing to live for
But I know something's gonna come my way

So I'll just sit here on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

Yeah, and it looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
I'm too tired for having fun
So I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

Oh, where were you, baby?
Nothing's gonna change
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Everything's the same

Nothin', no, no, nothin's gonna change, baby
I ain't gonna change
I'm just gonna sit here
Sit, sit, sittin' on the dock of the bay

. . .


This one way love affair ain't fair
It ain't no kind of fair to me
It's all give and take, and you just take
And I can't take it, you see

Well, I'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine
Because

I've done everything for you
Oh yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin' for me

Yeah, you knew that someday I'd have a whole lotta money
And be a millionaire
Yeah, but when that didn't happen overnight
I found out how much you really cared

Yeah, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
Aw lord, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
I've done everything, you've done nothin' for me
(You've done nothin' for me)

Now wait a minute
When I first met you, you didn't know how to hook a man
(You've done nothin')
There was so many things about makin' love you didn't understand
(You've done nothin')
Yeah, but now you know about everything
And I'm tradin' you in on a pair of wings

I've done everything for you
Yeah, yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me

Now I'm going out on the town tonight and get as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be loose, high and free
Yeah and I don't care what them people say
'Cause I'll change my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
Baby, baby you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Everything, but nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothin' for me

You've done nothin' for me
You, you've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin' for me
Zero, nothin' ow!
