All Grown Up Lyrics by Elvis Costello

All Grown Up Lyrics

    "i'm trouble" she said
    Spread out on the floor of her father's house
    Her promise was almost undone
    Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities
    To finally deny everyone with unflattering comparison

    Chorus
    All grown up
    And you don't care anymore
    And you hate all the people that you used to adore
    And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led before

    Did i hear you right?
    You're feeling hounded and pushed around
    You want to just lay down and die
    If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you
    Why don't you stop blaming some guy
    And go give the next one a try

    Chorus

    But look at yourself
    You'll see you're still so young
    You haven't earned the weariness
    That sounds so jaded on your tongue

    "i'm weak" she says
    And blesses herself and gets into bed
    Clutching the covers to her throat
    "so punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"
    "this night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that
    You wrote"

    Chorus
