Philip Lynott - Growing Up lyrics

rate me

The little girl she comes running home from school

She's lost her first public fight

She's so upset as she wipes away her tears

She can't concentrate on her homework that night

And finally when she gets her homework right

Her daddy knows that somethings wrong

But decideds to leave the questions utill later on

And later on at the little girls request

that she go to bed early to rest

Like a weeping willow

Into her sleeping pillow she cries

The little girl is growing up

While her whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

Her daddy gets up late for work

He's got a cigerett hanging from the corner of his mouth

He's late, he's missed that train again

Oh, total shock

And finally when he gets to work

All his fears deliverd with one blow

The boss says, with a smile

I'm sorry but you'll have to go

The little girl is growing up

While his whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up

While her whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

(sax solo.....)

The little girl she makes it to school

She meets up with a friend

They both pretend

they want to be the teachers pet again

And finally when she makes it home

She doesn't know what is wrong or right

Should she tell her mamma

Or should she keep quiet

The little girl is growing up

While her whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up

While her whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

The little girl is growing up

While her whole world it is falling down

I wish this hurting it could stop

but she's only learning

she's learning, learning

she's learning, learning

she's learning, learning

she's learning, learning

growning up

growing up

growning up

(into fade..)
