Do do do, do do do

When boys are just eleven
they begin to grow in height at a fast rate than they have done before
they develop curiosity and start to fantasise
about the things they have never thought of doing before
these dreams are no more harmful than
the usual thoughts that boys have of becoming football stars or millionaires
as long as the distinction between fantasy and fiction remains
itand's just a nature walk
Itand's just the facts of life
thereand's no master plan
walk me home from school
iand'll let you hold my hand
youand're getting ideas
and when you sleep at night
they develop into sweet dreams
itand's just the facts of life
A boy sits by the telephone, wanting to call a girl
but not daring to because she might say no
at last he summons up the courage phones
and discovers someone else has asked her first and sheand's said yes
nowand's time to deal with the fear of being rejected
no-one gets through life without being hurt
at this point the boy whoand's listening to this song
is probably saying itand's easier said than done and itand's true
Itand's just the facts of life
thereand's no master plan
walk me home from school
iand'll let you hold my hand
youand're getting ideas
and when you sleep at night
they develop into sweet dreams
itand's just the facts of life
Do do do, do do do
do do do, do do do
Small-town dating differs from more urban situations
in particular if thereand's few places to go
adolescents normally gather in a cafe or an arcade
if they have to almost anywhere will do
a family car, a disused coalmine
a rowing boat or a shed
experimentation, familiarisation
itand's all a nature walk
Itand's just the facts of life
thereand's no master plan
walk me home from school
iand'll let you hold my hand
youand're getting ideas
and when you sleep at night
they develop into sweet dreams
itand's just the facts of life
Itand's just the facts of life (sweet dreams develop into ideas)

youand're getting ideas (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
and when you sleep at night (ideas develop into sweet dreams)
