I was laughing
Playing in the streets
I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate
Playing
The game of love
But never really showing
And I thought that love could wait
I was a young girl
And sure to go astray
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would surely, surely find a way
Now keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was standing
Staring in the face
Of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping
And praying, Lord
That she could understand me
But I didn't know her name
She took this other hand
Told me I was wrong
She said, you're gonna be all right boy
Oh just as long
As you keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe
Someday baby
Who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see
We'll be walking
Together hand in hand, alone forever
Just you and me
Now time is gonna change us, Lord
I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing
Growing, growing like we oughta do
Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
