It's not easy being fifteen They same old same, same shuck and jive routine Subject to the rules laid down by adult regimes Oh I know, it's not easy And it's not so easy these days to be young We don't know who to blame sometimes and I guess you're the one We got tears for this and cheers for that but you're getting none Oh I know, it's not easy And you get down and out and you got nowhere to go But you come bouncing back somehow, how I don't know Then you turn the other cheek and get just one more blow Oh I know, it's not easy And it's not easy keepin' your cool You'd lose the one you love and it makes you feel like a fool And no one cares or ever shares your misery with you Oh I know, it's not easy And it's not so easy finding out who Lives behind that face that everyone knows as you But you'll look back and laugh someday cause you'll see this through But for now, I know, it's not easy But you'll be down and out someday and someone will know Someone to help you bounce back when you're feeling real low And you'll turn the other cheek and get a kiss for your woes And then you'll know, love makes it easy
