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, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you to 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, 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 you 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 could stay this simple
And no one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever let 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 your little brother's favorite song
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 s much colder than I thought it would be so I
tuck myself in, turn my night light on
Wished I'd never grown up
Wished I'd never grown up
Oh, I don't want to grow up
Wished I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh, I don't want to grow up
Wished 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 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
Ohh, don't you ever grow
Just never grow up
