Growin' Pain - Peter Wolf

Somtimes I don’t know

What it is I’m looking for

Whatever it is I want

I seem to need a little bit more

Careful what you pursue

In choosin' it, it chooses you

Cause everything around here is a growin' pain

My old friend 'Lil was on top of the heap

I saw here yesterday

She was working for cheap

She used to have money to burn

Lost it all, live and learn

Everything around here is a growin' pain

Some things you just can’t explain

Look at Cain and Abel

Same blood in their veins

Envy always finds its mark

Hate can see clear in the dark

Everything around here is a growin' pain

Everything around here is a growin' pain

Alright!

Once I had a sweet lady fair

I watched her every mornin' brush her long brown hair

With no warning, with no sign

Death took her, left me behind

Everything around here is a growin' pain

Shaky nerves, baby, got the best of me

I need a shot of somethin,' much stronger than tea

It’s as clear to me as cellophane

All my chances goin' down that drain

Everything around here is a growin' pain

Cause, Everything around here is a growin' pain

Everything around here is a growin' pain
