Never Grow Up Songtext
von Regi

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it′s so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight

To you, everything′s funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
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
It could stay this simple
I won′t let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up


You′re in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom′s dropping you off
At fourteen, there's just 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 p.j.s getting ready for school

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
It could stay this simple
And no one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother′s favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone


So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It′s so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I′d never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I′d never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I′d never grown up
It could still be simple

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
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won′t let no one break your heart
And even though you want to
Please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up
