She Grew Up - Stiff Little Fingers

I’d met her before somewhere, I knew the face

But she had green spikes in her hair, back in 78

Now the plastic bin liner skirt and the safety pins

Have given way to a zip pocket shirt and designer jeans

(Chorus:)

She said, 'I guess I grew up you know how it goes

Oh yes I grew up, but I didn’t grow old.'

I’d met her looking for fun, out on her own

Now she had a kid in the plan, and a husband at home

But she’s got a hold of her life, and she’s taking a chance

She’s in a job that she likes, and she still loves to dance

(Chorus)

She said that she was just, just what she wanted to be

But she would never forget the way the music set her free

The way it set her free.

I said of course she grew up, cause that’s how it goes

Sure she grew, but she’ll never grow

We said yeah we grew up, cause that’s how it goes

Yeah we grew up, but we’ll never grow old

We will never grow old
