You know time is on your side
Ooh, you got a young heart honey
Of the purest kind

And I know you'll, you'll be fine
Ooh, yeah, you can can catch them up
'til we wait in line

OOh

'Cause all these books are heavy
You'll get strong
Keep moving on and on, long gone
All until the story's ready
Keep it steady, and the beat will come
on and on

Hooh-ooh, hooh-ooh

We found love at a hopeless time
Ooh, he was a sweetheart, yes
But he was not mine

We hit quicksand and everything else got out of hand
But you should always build your house on the solid ground

'Cause all these books are heavy
You'll get strong
Keep moving on and on, long gone
All until the story's ready
Keep it steady, and the beat will come
on and on

Ooh-ooh, hooh-hooh
Hoo-ooh, hooh-ooh

Goes on and on, it goes on and on
Take it all back, take it all back
Goes on and on
Take it all back, take it all back
It goes on and on

'Cause all these books are heavy
You'll get strong
Keep moving on and on in the long run
All until the story's ready
Keep it steady, and the beat will come
on and on

Ooh-ooh, hooh-hooh
Hoo-ooh, hooh-hooh

On and on
And all these books are heavy
You'll get strong
Keep moving on and on, long gone
All until the story's ready
Keep it steady, and the beat will come
on and on
