Never Grow up!

Your little hands wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids clutter 'cause you're dreaming

So, I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny (ooh)

You got nothing to regret (ooh)

I'll give all I have, honey (ooh)

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

You 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 (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Never grow up (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

From Cancún tumblin' in Florida

You lift me high and carry me to my goals

Wish I could stop time and press rewind

Just reminisce on how you kept me afloat

(Ooh) adventures is written on my heart

When I fell, you were my parachute

Never stop shining bright

And I won't let the time escape me and you

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

You could stay this simple

And no one's ever burned you

Nothing's never left you scarred

And even though you want to

Just try to never grow up (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Take pictures in the mind of your childhood room

Memorise what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And know your little brother's favourite songs

I just realize everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So there you are, in your new apartment in a big city

We just dropped you off

It's so much hotter than I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

(Ah, ah, ah)

Wish you'd never grown up (ah, ah, ah)

I wish you'd never grown up

Oh, I guess you have to grow up

Yeah, you have to grow up

You can't stay little

Oh, I don't wanna let go

Wish I'd never let go

It'll still be simple

Oh, darling, guess you had to grow up

Guess you had to grow up

Can't just stay little

Oh, darling, it's okay to grow up

Don't be afraid to grow up

You could still stay simple

I won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

And even though I love you

I guess I'll let you grow up

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Guess you have to grow up

Guess you have to grow up

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Can't wait to see you grow up
