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
it's just a nature walk
It's just the facts of life
there's no master plan
walk me home from school
i'll let you hold my hand
you're getting ideas
and when you sleep at night
they develop into sweet dreams
it's just the facts of life
A boy sits by the telephone, wanting to call a girl

no-one gets through life without being hurt
at this point the boy who's listening to this song
is probably saying it's easier said than done and it's true
It's just the facts of life
there's no master plan
walk me home from school
i'll let you hold my hand
you're getting ideas
and when you sleep at night
they develop into sweet dreams
it's just the facts of life
Do do do, do do do
do do do, do do do

It's just the facts of life
there's no master plan
walk me home from school
