  "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"
• 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
  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 she's said yes
  now's time to deal with the fear of being rejected
  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
  
  small-town dating differs from more urban situations
  in particular if there'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
  it's all 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
  
  it's just the facts of life (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  there's no master plan (ideas develop into sweet dreams)
  walk me home from school (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  i'll let you hold my hand (let you hold my hand)
  you're getting ideas (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  and when you sleep at night (ideas develop into sweet dreams)
  they develop into sweet dreams (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  it's just the facts of life
  
  it's just the facts of life (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  there's no master plan (ideas develop into sweet dreams)
  walk me home from school (sweet dreams develop into ideas)
  i'll let you hold my hand (let you hold my hand)
