Awkward Age Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I should have know that you were only just fifteen 

You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen 

Old enough to stand out but to young to stand with pride 

So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin 

And the cool parties never let you in 

I can still relate to being so high and dry 

Don't cry... 

You're just at an awkward age 

We'll all be fine 

Disgraceful under pressure 

Don't toe the line 

You're just at an awkward age 

Don't cry- just an awkward age 

Don't cry 

You're just at an awkward... 

You look at me like I know what's going on 

I'm looking back and I wonder what went wrong 

I really thought by now a few things might clarify 

I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days 

And a body that sometimes disobeys 

I get into the parties but I hate them 'cause I'm shy 

Oh my... 

I'm still at an awkward age 

We'll all be fine 

Disgraceful under pressure 

Don't toe the line 

You're just at an awkward age 

Don't cry- just an awkward age 

Don't cry 

You're just at an awkward...
