Lyrics to Problems
In the sixth grade
I was wishing I was older
Not doing my work like I was supposed to
Yeah on my floor with my comic books open
Just me, myself and me

And in the eighth grade
I had the world on my shoulders
Warm inside but the house was getting colder
Mom upstairs and dad on the sofa
Is this how it's meant to be?

Crawling down the path that you paved for me
Lying on the bed that you made for me
I ain't looking for prayers or sympathy
Just hear me out

So we get older
And we get wiser
But don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too
Maybe you're bolder
A little bit stronger
Don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too

In the tenth grade
We were skipping class and fooling teachers
They never knew I was kissing her by the bleachers
All my friends had said she was a keeper
She's the one for me

Fisinished twelfth grade
And once I graduated
They said "Go get a job, you know one so you can pay rent"
No nine to five just show me where the stage is
Cause that's the place for me

I've been crawling down the path that you paved for me
Lying on the bed that you made for me
I ain't looking for prayers or sympathy
Just hear me out

So we get older
And we get wiser
But don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too
Baby, you're bolder
A little bit stronger
Don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too

We're not so different
We keep on making the same mistakes
We're not so different
Yeah we keep on making the same mistakes
We're not so different
Yeah we keep on making the same mistakes
We're not so different
We keep on making the same mistakes

So we get older
And we get wiser
But don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too
Baby, you're bolder
A little bit stronger
And don't try to tell me what to do
Cause this kid's got problems too

Back in the sixth grade
I always wanted to be older
But dad's been gone
And mom was feeling lonesome
Trying to fill the empty space in the sofa
Just me, myself and me
