Growing Up-Philip Lynott

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..)
