It's Tough
It's tough to be a teenager no one really knows
What the pressure is like at school so this is how it goes.
I wake up every morning and stare into this face
I want to be good looking but i feel like a disgrace.
My friends they seem to like me if i follow through with their dare.
But when i try to be myself they never seem to care.
My mom, well she keeps telling me i got to make the grade
While both my parents say they love me it slowly seems to fade.
It seems like everyone i NOW is trying to be so cool
And every time i try i end up just a fool.
Maybe if i could make the team I'll stand out in the crowd.
If they see how hard i try i know they would be proud.
Sometimes i really get so low i want to cash it in
My problems are really bad if i think back on how life has been.
At times i'm lost and wonder what to do
I wonder where could i go, who can i talk to
It's tough to be a teenager sometimes life's not fare
i just wish i had somewhere to go and someone to really CARE!
