First you start with walkin'
Then you need to learn talkin'
Slowly you form the meaning of what I say
But along with the pain of growin'
Learnin' things about knowin'
That don't leave much time to fool around
Bein' small and not quite ready
Don't stop time, it moves steady
Happy birthday, yousself a new [?]
Your time has come for learning
1, 2, 3, your ABCs
And that don't leave much time to fool around
That don't leave much time to fool around
Time'll move and it don't make a sound
[?]
That don't leave much time to fool around
Growin' has its problems
They get bigger everyday
You've reached your teens already
That don't leave much time to play
You've got love to face already
That may happen anyday
And that won't leave much time to fool around
Love has a way of growin'
There's a baby on the way
Soon you'll be a father
She's in the family name
Don't [?] while your child's growin'
Cause you're not here to stay
You're gettin' gold and soon you'll go away
And that don't leave much time to fool around
And that don't leave much time to fool around
Time'll move and it don't make a sound
When you live while you're learning
You won't always be [?]
That don't leave much time to fool around
Aw, That don't leave much time to fool around
