Sweet girl, she's the high school queen She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin' She's just a child goin' on seventeen
She gets so confused by friends and their scenes They don't mean what they say don't say what they mean She reads the signs, reads between the lines But it makes no difference There's no reason or rhyme
Just hold on girl, as long as you can In time learn what you don't understand It's the human condition, it's the nature of man
This city boy, he don't want no control He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll But here they come turn the pressure on Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone
The time has come now to be a man Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can You've got ambition, take a look at yourself When gonna straighten out, be like everybody else
The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down I am who I am, I've had a good look around There's one thing in the world I tell you I've found
CHORUS:
There ain't wonder things are so outta hand Sooner or later, ya come to understand The human condition, it's the nature of man
