Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen?
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream?
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'?
She's just a child goin' on seventeen?
She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes?
They don't mean what they say?
They don't say what they mean?
She reads the signs, reads between the lines?
But it makes no difference?
There's no reason or rhyme?
Just hold on girl, as long as you can?
In time you'll learn what you don't understand?
It's the human condition, it's the nature of man?
[Chorus:]?
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy?
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy?
This city boy, he don't want no control?
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll?
But here they come to turn the pressure on?
Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone?
The time has come now to be a man?
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can?
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself?
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else?
The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down?
I am who I am, I've had a good look around?
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found?
[Chorus]?
There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand?
Sooner or later, ya come to understand?
The human condition, it's the nature of man?
