Never Grow Up letra

Your little hands wrapped around my fingerAnd it's so quiet in the world tonightYour little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamingSo I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funnyYou got nothing to regretI'd give all I have, honeyIf you could stay like that
Chorus:Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upJust stay this littleOh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upIt could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt youWon't let no one break your heartNo, no one will desert youJust try to never grow up, never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the moviesAnd you're mortified your mom's dropping you offAt 14, there's just so much you can't doAnd you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the blockRemember that she's getting older, tooAnd don't lose the way that you dance aroundIn your PJs getting ready for school
Chorus:Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upJust stay this littleOh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upIt could stay this simple
No one's ever burned youNothing's ever left you scarredAnd even though you want toJust try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood roomMemorize what it sounded like when your dad gets homeRemember the footsteps, remember the words saidAnd all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I haveIs someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartmentIn a big city, they just dropped me offIt's so much colder than I thought it would beSo I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
Wish I'd never grown upI wish I'd never grown up
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown upCould still be littleOh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown upIt could still be simple
Chorus:Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upJust stay this littleOh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow upIt could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt youWon't let no one break your heartAnd even through to you want toPlease try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up (Never grow up)Just never grow up
