Messin' with the kid

It ain't too easy being a young man
Going round in circles, honey, all the time
You've played their game now for so long can't see
What in the world are they trying to do to me?

Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down
I say it makes you crawl...

You walk down the main street out in the city
See all the girls now they're so pretty
But all their smiling faces, yeah are gonna pass you by
It don't make no difference no matter how hard you try

Sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down
I say it makes you crawl...

Ya hangin' 'round in alleys, ya hangin' 'round in bars
Just looking for some fun but you don't get none and there you are...
Looking for some action looking for some fun but you are down in the gutter
And you don't get none, oh no, just nothing left to do at night, yeah

How do you feel now that it's all over
Your games all melted under the sun
Just like a kid, take a trip down to the sea
Stuck out in the middle and there's just nothing left to say

But, sometimes you get that old lost feeling
Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down
It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down
I say it makes you crawl...

Yeah.
