Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up lyrics

Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up 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 there's someone of their dreams

I was wasting my time

Waiting for love

For the love that never comes from

Someone who does not exist

That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up

Let me live before I die

Oh, not me, not I

I was wasting my life

Always thinking about myself

Someone on the deathbed 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

As for me I'm ok

For now anyway
