Grownup Lyrics - Carly Simon

(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 

Photos 

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
