[Intro]

Oh, oh

[Verse 1]

Children live in their own world

Happiness to them is having fun

There exists this little girl

Who simply truly loved by everyone

Such a sweet gentleness when she smiles

Oh, she's such a small child

She know what's right and what's wrong (What's right and what's wrong)

Knows the words to every song

[Chorus]

Oh, Margaux (Margaux)

Soon you'll grow up to be a lady (Soon you'll grow up to be a lady)

Your folks can truly say (Truly say)

They brought you up the right way (The right way)

Oh, Margaux (Ooh)

Oh (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

We forget sometimes children

Needs love and affection constantly

If we spend more time with them

They'll feel morе secure and happy

With Margaux happiness shе's got

She's not a child in poverty

And she drink her favorite soda pop (Soda pop)

She just laughs and smiled at me

[Chorus]

Oh, Margaux (Margaux)

Soon you'll grow up to be a lady (Soon you'll grow up to be a lady)

Your folks can truly say (Truly say)

They brought you up the right way (The right way)

Oh, Margaux

Oh, you're such a beautiful child, oh yeah

[Outro]

Life goes on as she plays (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

She'll grow up to be a lady (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

Don't you know that life goes on as she plays? (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

Children need us so much

I know that you grow up to be a lady (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

And I hope, and I hope that life goes on as she plays (She'll grow up, she'll grow up, she'll grow up to be a lady)

Oh (She'll grow up, she'll grow up)

And she'll grow up to be a lady

Children, they need us, oh

Life goes on as she plays (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

And I hope, and I hope that she grows up to be a lady (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

Oh no, oh no (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

And I hope, and I hope that she grows up to be a lady (Life goes on as she plays, it goes on and on and on)

And children, they need us so much

Don't you know that life goes on as she plays? (She'll grow up, she'll grow up, she'll grow up to be a lady)

Oh, oh
