(intro) (verso 1) 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 (Refrão) 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 Wont let no one break your heart No one will desert you Just try to never grow up Never grow up (verso 2) You're in the car on the way to the movies And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off At 14, 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 she's getting older too1stchords And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school (Refrão) ( ) Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home Remember the footsteps, remember the words said And all your little brother's favorite songs I just realized everything I had 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 (Refrão 2x)
