Never Grow Up
[00:00.24] •••
[00:15.58] Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
[00:18.30] And it's so quiet in the world tonight
[00:23.23] Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
[00:26.23] So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
[00:30.98] To you everything's funny
[00:35.63] You got nothing to regret
[00:39.63] I'd give all I have, honey
[00:43.24] If you could stay like that
[00:45.88] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[00:49.50] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[00:54.01] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[00:57.00] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[01:02.51] I won't let nobody hurt you
[01:06.61] Won't let no one break your heart
[01:10.60] And no one will desert you
[01:14.61] Just try to never grow up
[01:23.38] Never grow up
[01:32.35] You're in the car on the way to the movies
[01:35.35] And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
[01:40.10] At fourteen there's just so much you can't do
[01:42.94] And you can't wait to move out someday
[01:45.24] And call your own shots
[01:47.66] But don't make her drop you off around the block
[01:51.42] Remember that she's getting older, too
[01:55.41] And don't lose the way that you dance
[01:58.48] Around in your pj's getting ready for school
[02:02.73] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[02:06.22] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[02:10.99] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[02:13.74] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[02:19.63] And no one's ever burned you
[02:23.39] Nothing's ever left you scarred
[02:27.20] And even though you want to
[02:31.45] Just try to never grow up
[02:41.36] Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
[02:49.45] Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
[02:55.56] Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
[02:59.81] And all your little brother's favorite songs
[03:04.56] I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
[03:12.49] So here I am in my new apartment in a big city
[03:17.18] They just dropped me off
[03:19.99] It's so much colder than I thought it would be
[03:22.79] So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
[03:33.57] Wish I'd never grown up
[03:40.05] I wish I'd never grown up
[03:42.80] Oh, I don't wanna grow up
[03:46.07] Wish I'd never grown up
[03:48.05] I could still be little
[03:50.80] Oh, I don't wanna grow up
[03:53.81] Wish I'd never grown up
[03:55.66] It could still be simple
[03:58.68] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[04:01.32] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[04:06.18] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[04:09.07] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[04:14.82] I won't let nobody hurt you
[04:18.81] Won't let no one break your heart
[04:22.56] And even though you want to
[04:26.81] Please try to never grow up
[04:29.81] Oh, don't you ever grow up
[04:37.96] Oh, never grow up
[04:42.91] Just never grow up
