Never Grow Up - Dream Baby

You’re little hands wrapped around my finger

And, it’s so quiet in the world tonight

You’re little eyelids

Flutter cause you’re dreaming

So, I took 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

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 can 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, 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 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 PJ’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 can 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 get’s home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And all you’re little brothers 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 tucked myself in and turned my night light 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 can stay this simple

I won’t let nobody hurt you

Won’t let no one break your heart

And even you want to

Please, try to never grow up

Oh, whoa

Don’t you ever grow up

Oh, whoa

Never grow up

Just never grow up
