Lyrics for Grownup by CARLY SIMON:
| | | Artist: | CARLY SIMON |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Grownup | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 69 | | | | Lyrics: | (Carly Simon)
I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Red roses on cotton, I stood
three feet from the ground
the grownups inside used words I didn't know
But still I enjoyed
the show
They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured
And I just like them would
know it all when I matured
And I wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears
Or the
cracks in the ceiling upstairs
Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller
And
the little ones, they call me a grownup
Lat night at a friend's house a little girl was
there
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
She looked up to me as if I could do no
wrong
As I got up to sing my song
I sang it with a shiver in my throat and in my
knees
Feeling just as small as a thistle in a breeze
But the child's imagination carried me
along
And saw me through my song
Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten
taller
And the little ones call me a grownup | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
