First you
start with walking
Then you need to learn talking
Slowly you form a meaning of what is said
But along with the pain of growing
Learning things about knowing
That don't leave much
time to fool around
Being small and not quite ready
Don't stop time, it moves steady
Happy birthday,
yourself and you are in school
Your time has come for learning
1, 2, 3, you're A, B, C
And I don't leave
much time to fool around
I don't leave much time to fool around
I'm a -movin' it, don't make a sound
Learn to live while you're learnin'
You won't always be around
I don't need much time to
run
Growing has its problems,
they get bigger every day
You've reached your teens already,
that don't leave much time to play
You've got the love on
your face already,
that may happen any day
And that won't leave much
time to feel alive
Love has a way of growing,
there's a baby on the way
Soon you'll meet a father,
she's in the family way
Don't blink a eye
while your child's growing
Cause you're not here to stay
You're getting old and soon you'll go away
I don't need much time to fool around
Time will move and it's
gonna make a sound
And to help while you're learning,
you won't always be right
I don't need much
time to fill them down
Oh no, I don't need much
time to fill them down
you
