Verse 1 It isn't easy (easy, easy) being a kid, whatever you think.
It isn't easy (easy, easy) being a kid.
Well, grown-ups just assume
That every boy and every girl
Is blissfully content,
Without a care in the world!
Ok, we don't have mortgages
Or bills we have to pay -
It doesn't mean that we don't have concerns
From to day to day.
So cut us a little bit of slack
If you see us flipping our lid.
It isn't very easy.....being a kid!
Verse 2 It isn't easy (easy, easy) being this age, whatever you think.
It isn't easy (easy, easy) being this age.
With changes on their way,
Our lives will hardly be a breeze;
Emotional and physical
Metamorphoses!
And knowing pretty soon
We'll have a face that's full of spots,
The prospect of it all
Has tied our tummies up in knots!
So cut us a little bit of slack
If we sometimes rattle your cage.
It isn't very easy.....being this age!
Verse 3 Doing homework, eating greens,
And keeping up with trends,
Early bedtimes, fussy parents -
Boy, it never ends!
But with time and patience
We'll get through it, there's no rush,
And one day all life's blemishes
Will come out in the wash....!
So cut us a little bit of slack
If you see us flipping our lid.
It isn't very easy.....being a kid!
