I had food, I had shelter,
had a mom and a dad,
had a brother and a sister,
But I still felt sad.
'Cause whether cloudy or sunny,
a-short or along,
I just knew that something was wrong.
But we did it. We made it!
Now we’re both adults.
We made a few changes
and we found good results.
There may have been problems,
but we all have our faults.
And we did it. We made it!
Now we’re both adults.
Had a good education,
had a good Catholic Church.
Never talked back to God,
never dad’s name besmirched.
But at the end of the pew,
though I tried to pray along,
I just knew that something was wrong.
But we did it. We made it!
Just look how grown-up!
We made a few changes
and we’re both ownin’ up.
And sure, there were problems,
but still I phone up,
'cause we did it. We made it!
Just look how grown-up.
…
Was it love and affection?
Was it fear and resentment?
Was it pain and rejection?
Was it health and contentment?
Was the whole situation
why we didn’t get along?
All I knew was that something was wrong.
But we did it. We made it!
Now we’re both adults.
We made a few changes
and we found good results.
There may have been problems,
but we all have our faults.
And we did it. We made it!
Now we’re both adults.
Yes I did it! I made it!
Now I’m an adult.
I made a few changes
And I found good results.
I may have my problems
and I may have my faults,
But I did it. I made it.
Now I’m an adult.
