Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars.
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers,
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck.

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff,
It’s in the ABC of growing up.
Now, now, darlin’,
Oh don’t lose your head,
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeh.

Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never
Far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt.
I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years
You can’t keep on like this,
Now is as bad of time as any.

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeh.

It’s okay by me.
It’s okay by me.
It’s okay by me.
It was a long time ago.
It’s okay by me.
It’s okay by me.
It’s okay by me.
It was a - long - time - ago.

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff,
It’s in the ABC of growing up.
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head,
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeh.

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeh
