Never Grow Up

Lyrics

 * Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
 * And it's so quiet in the world tonight
 * Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
 * So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
 * To you everything's funny
 * You got nothing to regret
 * I'd give all I have, honey
 * If you could stay like that


 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * Just stay this little
 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * It could stay this simple
 * I won't let nobody hurt you
 * Won't let no one break your heart
 * And no one will desert you
 * Just try to never grow up
 * Never grow up


 * You're in the car on the way to the movies
 * And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
 * At 14, there's just so much you can't do
 * And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
 * But don't make her drop you off around the block
 * Remember that she's getting older too
 * And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school


 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * Just stay this little
 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * It could stay this simple
 * No one's ever burned you
 * Nothing's ever left you scarred
 * And even though you want to
 * Please try to never grow up


 * Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
 * Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
 * Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
 * And all your little brother's favorite songs
 * I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone


 * So here I am in my new apartment
 * In a big city, they just dropped me off
 * It's so much colder than I thought it would be
 * So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on


 * Wish I'd never grown up
 * I wish I'd never grown up


 * Oh I don't wanna grow up
 * Wish I'd never grown up
 * I could still be little
 * Oh, I don't wanna grow up
 * Wish I'd never grown up
 * It could still be simple
 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * Just stay this little
 * Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * It could stay this simple
 * Won't let nobody hurt you
 * Won't let no one break your heart
 * And even though you want to
 * Please try to never grow up
 * Oh
 * Don't you ever grow up
 * Oh
 * Never grow up
 * Just never grow up
