00:00Your little hands wrapped around my finger and it's so quiet in the world tonight
00:07Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
00:14To you, everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
00:22I'd give all I have, honey, if you could stay like that
00:28Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
00:35Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, you can stay this simple
00:43I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
00:50And no one will desert you, just try to never grow up
01:02Never grow up
01:10You're in the car on your way to the movies and you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
01:17At 14 there's just so much you can't do and you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
01:24But don't make her drop you off around the block, remember that she's getting older too
01:31And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school
01:38Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
01:45Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, you can stay this simple
01:53And no one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
02:00And even though you want to, just try to never grow up
02:07Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
02:20Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
02:26Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
02:30And all your little brother's favorite songs
02:34I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
02:41So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off
02:48It's so much colder than I thought it would be so I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
02:55Wish I'd never grown up
03:03Wish I'd never grown up
03:09Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up, I could still be a little
03:16Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up, it could still be simple
03:23Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
03:30Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, could stay this simple
03:38Won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
03:45And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
03:56Just to never grow up
04:01Never grow up
04:03Just to never grow up
