Pumpin' And Blowin'
Written by Terry Britten, B.A. Robertson, and Sue Shrifin
Sung by Kristy McNichol

(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')

Hey it's an old wives' story,
Said it's old wives' tale.
I said love is glory, I tell you love's so frail.
Loving needs a bandage, and intensive care,
And it's a disadvantage, when you're playin' fair.

If you're treading water, and romance is on the slide,
Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water;
It's your pride.

Chorus:

Ah-huh, I've huffed and puffed
Just to keep love going.
I'm done, I've had enough
A pumpin' and a blowin'.

(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')

You know a woman's labor is never, ever done.
So could you do me a favor, and father tell your son:
If he's treading water, and romance is on the slide,
Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water;
It's your pride.

Chorus (x2)

(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')
