You're little hand wrapped aroun' my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
You're 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 had, honey
If you could stay like that
Chorus:
Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It can stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert
Just try to never grow up,
And never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified
You're mom's dropping you off
At fourteen, there's 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 for school
(Chorus)
And no ones ever burred you
Nothings ever left you scared
And even though you wan't to
Just try to never grow up
Take picture's in your mind of your chilhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad get's home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all ypur little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everythingI had is somebody gonna be gone
So, here I am in my new apartment
In a big city they just dropped me off
His so much colder than I thought it would be
So, I tucked myself inand turned my night light on
Wisg I'd never grow up
I wish i'd never grow up
(Chorus)(2x)
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even you want too
Please try to never grow up
Oh, whoa
Don't you never grow up
Oh, whoa
Never grow up
Just never grow up
