[00:15.63] Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
[00:18.89] And it's so quiet in the world tonight
[00:22.51] *
[00:23.03] Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
[00:25.97] So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight
[00:30.22] *
[00:31.03] To you, everything's funny
[00:34.48] *
[00:35.55] You got nothing to regret
[00:39.02] *
[00:39.55] I'd give all I have, honey
[00:42.20] *
[00:43.27] If you could stay like that
[00:45.39] *
[00:45.92] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[00:49.12] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[00:53.89] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[00:56.82] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[01:01.87] *
[01:02.41] I won't let nobody hurt you
[01:06.16] Won't let no one break your heart
[01:10.14] And no one will desert you
[01:13.86] *
[01:14.40] Just try to never grow up
[01:17.31] *
[01:23.16] And never grow up
[01:25.02] *
[01:32.18] You're in the car, on the way to the movies
[01:35.38] And you're mortified your mom's droppin' you off
[01:39.63] *
[01:40.16] At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
[01:43.07] And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
[01:47.33] *
[01:47.86] But don't make her drop you off around the block
[01:51.58] Remember that she's gettin' older, too
[01:55.30] And don't lose the way that you dance around
[01:59.45] In your PJ's getting ready for school
[02:02.59] *
[02:02.99] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[02:06.05] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[02:10.56] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[02:13.52] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[02:18.84] *
[02:19.38] And no one's ever burned you
[02:23.11] Nothing's ever left you scarred
[02:27.09] And even though you want to
[02:30.54] *
[02:31.33] Just try to never grow up
[02:33.99] *
[02:41.43] Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
[02:48.87] Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
[02:55.02] Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
[02:59.54] And all your little brother's favorite songs
[03:03.52] *
[03:04.59] I just realized everything I have is, someday, gonna be gone
[03:10.97] *
[03:12.29] So, here I am in my new apartment
[03:15.15] In a big city, they just dropped me off
[03:19.13] *
[03:19.74] It's so much colder than I thought it would be
[03:23.20] So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
[03:27.25] *
[03:33.37] Wish I'd never grown up
[03:35.48] *
[03:39.99] Wish I'd never grown up
[03:42.12] *
[03:42.38] Oh, I don't wanna grow up
[03:45.85] Wish I'd never grown up, I could still be little
[03:50.35] Oh, I don't wanna grow up
[03:53.54] Wish I'd never grown up, it could still be simple
[03:58.32] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[04:01.24] Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
[04:05.76] Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
[04:08.95] Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
[04:14.77] I won't let nobody hurt you (Never grow up)
[04:18.48] Won't let no one break your heart
[04:22.21] And even though you want to
[04:26.45] Please, try to never grow up
[04:29.11] Oh, oh (Never grow up)
[04:33.90] *
[04:34.96] Just never grow up
[04:37.08] Oh (Never grow up)
[04:41.60] *
[04:42.40] Just never grow up
[04:45.07] *
