Onward And Upwards Songtext

von Little River Band

By Glenn Shorrock and John Boylan

I have been watching you from so far away,
With just one thought in my head,
My friends all told me got to leave you alone,
Chase older women instead.

I'm gonna take you to my favorite place,
Sweet seventeen and so fine,
Your daddy told me not to get you home late,
Good thing he can't read my mind.

Anyway, well it's onwards and upwards,
I got to go for as much as I can,
Anyway well it's onwards and upwards,
Come on, baby, make me feel like a man.

I sit behind you in biology class,
Learning the birds and the bees,
Can't wait to get you on a saturday night,
You know my aim is to please !

Anyway, well it's onwards and upwards,
Got to go for as much as I can,
Anyway well it's onwards and upwards,
Come on, baby, make me feel like a man.

Can we go steady ? (ooh ohh)
Right here in my Chevy, (ooh ohh)
Now we're breathing heavy, (ooh ohh)
Oh babe, I hope you're ready ...

Solo

I have been watching you from so far away,
Hoping you'd give me a sign,
Everybody needs a first time romance,
Oh honey, why not be mine ?

Anyway, well it's onwards and upwards,
I got to go for as much as I can,
Anyway well it's onwards and upwards,
Come on, baby, make me feel like a man,
Come on, baby, make me feel like a man,
Come on, baby, make me feel like a man,
