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
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
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
Oh, darling don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up Just stay this little
