Philip Lynott - Growing Up Lyrics
The little girl she comes running home from schoolShes lost her first public fightShes so upset as she wipes away her tearsShe cant concentrate on her homework that nightAnd finally when she gets her homework rightHer daddy knows that somethings wrongBut decideds to leave the questions utill later onAnd later on at the little girls requestThat she go to bed early to restLike a weeping willowInto her sleeping pillow she criesThe little girl is growing upWhile her whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learningHer daddy gets up late for workHes got a cigerett hanging from the corner of his mouthHes late, hes missed that train againOh, total shockAnd finally when he gets to workAll his fears deliverd with one blowThe boss says, with a smileIm sorry but youll have to goThe little girl is growing upWhile his whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learningThe little girl is growing upWhile her whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learning(sax solo.....)The little girl she makes it to schoolShe meets up with a friendThey both pretendThey want to be the teachers pet againAnd finally when she makes it homeShe doesnt know what is wrong or rightShould she tell her mammaOr should she keep quietThe little girl is growing upWhile her whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learningThe little girl is growing upWhile her whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learningThe little girl is growing upWhile her whole world it is falling downI wish this hurting it could stopBut shes only learningShes learning, learningShes learning, learningShes learning, learningShes learning, learningGrowning upGrowing upGrowning up(into fade..)
