GROWN UP WRONG
(Jagger/Richards)

well you've grown up all wrong 2x
you come on too strong
well you've grown up all wrong
well you were easy to fool, when you were in school, but
you've grown up all wrong

well you've grown up on me 2x
don't believe what I see
well you've grown up on me
well you look so sweet when you're in your jeans, but
you've grown up on me

well you've grown up too fast 2x
don't forget about the past
girl, you've grown up too fast
well you won't be a fool, but I'm through with you
well you've grown up too fast 2x

Review:
Of the several R&B-based songs the Rolling Stones wrote in 1963-1965 as they struggled to find their feet as songwriters, "Grown Up Wrong" is possibly the most mediocre. Most of the very first songs Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote were tame Merseybeat-influenced pop/rock ballads. Along with some other songs like "Surprise Surprise," "Grown Up Wrong" -- which appeared on their second album, 12 X 5 -- could be seen as an attempt to write in a much harder blues-rock tradition that was much more in line with their tastes and influences. The problem is that it isn't much of a song, based on a moody guitar riff that curls downward toward a twang before zooming up for a couple repeated high notes. Probably meant to be tough, it ends up being more irritating, particularly as it's repeated often throughout the track. Against a handclapping rhythm, the verses are little more than a series of ill-natured complaints - against a girl, presumably - who's grown up wrong and hard to handle. And the song doesn't develop any further than that, although some typical early Rolling Stones bluesy harmonica work helps fill it out to full-song length. Had the group's songwriting acumen as a whole not gone much further beyond "Grown Up Wrong," there would be many millions less people listening or thinking about the group today. Of course, as we all know, they did quickly develop as composers, starting with their huge 1965 hit singles like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." "Grown Up Wrong" is a relic of the days before those skills had clicked.
