Matilda

[Verse 1]
You know you're gonna break
A rule or two
Many-a time the others tried
So why don't you?

[Verse 2]
You're headin' for a race
You're gonna win
So come on baby, depend on us
You know that we're all in

[Chorus]
Matilda
You're gonna feel the pain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again
You're a long long way from convicts
In the rain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again

[Post-Chorus]
(Matilda
You're growin' up again)
(Matilda
You're growin' up again)

[Verse 3]
You know you're gonna leave
The rest behind
The love we had
For what you are
Needs some faith, we'll find

[Verse 4]
You know we've been singin' the same old song
Far too long
So come on baby, depend on us
We know that you're not wrong

[Chorus]
Matilda
You're gonna feel the pain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again
You're a long long way from convicts
In the rain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, now the time is right to be
Oh, here's a chance for you and me

[Bridge]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Marchin' along on your own
Sha-la-la-la-la
Waitin' until you're full grown

[Break]
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me

[Chorus / (Bridge)]
Matilda
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You're gonna feel the pain
(Marchin' along on your own)
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again
(Sha-la-la-la)
(Waiting until you're full grown)

[Break]
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me
Gonna take me

[Chorus]
Matilda
You're gonna feel the pain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again
You're a long long way from convicts
In the rain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up

[Chorus]
Matilda
You're gonna feel the pain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up again
You're a long long way from convicts
In the rain
Matilda, baby
You're growin' up
