I was laughin'
Playin' in the streets
I was unknowin'
I didn't know about things
Then he came along
but never really showed me
I thought that love could wait
I was a young girl
And I was sure to go astray
You walked right into my life
And told me you
never find a way
Find a way yeah
Gotta keep on growin'
Keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Yeah yeah yeah
I was standin'
Lookin' in the face
of one who loved me
Feelin' so ashamed
Hopin' I pray the Lord
that you could understand me
And I didn't know his name
He took my hand in his
And told me I was wrong
He said you're gonna be
all right girl
Oh just as long
Just as long
Gotta keep on growin'
Keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby someday maybe
who knows where or when
Just you wait and see
Let me hold you
Together hand in hand
alone forever
'Cause I want you still with me
This time is gonna
change it all
And I know it's true
Our love is gonna
keep on growin'
And growin's all we gotta do
All we gotta do yeah
Oh got to keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Gotta keep on growin'
Keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Gotta keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Starin' lookin' in the face
of the one that loved me
Gotta keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Gotta keep on growin'
Oh yeah
I was a young girl
You said love will find a way
Love will find a way
Gotta keep on
Gotta keep on growin'
Gotta keep on keep on
Keep on growin'
Keep on growin'
