[Verse 1]
I crashed my car in your driveway when I was 16
And got my license just to drive around some friends
And I thought summer sad would never find me
And I would be lost up there forever
With some clouds around my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Oooh
No one told me that it sucks
Oooh

[Chorus]
Why is growing up
La la lonely, yeah
La la lonely, yeah

[Verse 2]
I went to sleep in California
And then I woke up somewhere in London
With a stranger in my brain, it feels like
Leicester square is always pouring
When I was 21 I got too drunk
And had to walk home in the rain

[Chorus]
Oooh
Why is growing up
La la lonely, yeah
La la lonеly, yeah
[Bridge]
One day you're 17 and you don't know anything
Out of placе and out of touch, why is growing up
La la lonely
Why
Why
Why (The weight of the world is on my shoulders)
Why (How come it's so hard getting older)
One day you're 25
And you're hardly getting by
Out of place and out of touch

[Chorus]
Why is growing up
La la lonely, yeah
La la lonely, yeah

[Outro]
One day you're 17 and you don't know anything
Out of place and out of touch
Why is growing up
La la lonely (Why, Why)
La la lonely, yeah (Why it gotta be so fucking lonely)
La la lonely, yeah
