All Grown Up Lyrics - The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Wheel (live Cd) - Elvis Costello

"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 every unflattering comparison 

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

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 

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 

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
