growing up the hard way

Singer:foreigner

he's got nothing to say

he's got no excuse

he's just made that way

and he's gonna stay that way

like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own

no

no

no

he won't back down or go running back home

he's come a long way in life

he's got a long way to go

he don't even know

he don't care because

he's growing up the hard way

in and out of trouble every day

growing up the hard way

now no tellin' where you'll end up

boy

he's got nothing to say

like he's lost for words

his mind's in a daze

that's his way

it's just a little game he plays

he's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone

cuttin' through the steel and the hearts of stone

he's come a long way in life

he's got a long way to go

he don't even know

but he don't care because

he's growing up the hard way

in and out of trouble every day

growing up the hard way

you'd better walk the straight and narrow

growing up the hard way

in and out of trouble every day

growing up the hard way

never know what you're in for

boy

he's come a long way in life

he's got a long way to go

he don't wanna know

and he don't care because

he's growing up the hard way

in and out of trouble every day

he's growing up the hard way

yeah

and he's gonna stay that way

you see

he's growing up the hard way

walk the straight and narrow yeah

maybe someday

but still he's growing up the hard way

it's just the way he's grown up

yeah

there ain't no other way

growing up the hard way
