SOME FOLKS
FROM TIME TO TIME
MIGHT LOOK AT ME
LIKE I'M A
LITTLE STRANGE
WHILE OTHERS WILL
JUST COME RIGHT OUT
AND ASK ME
WHY DON'T I ACT MY AGE
NOW I'LL ADMIT
I'M A LITTLE OLDER
THAN I AM YOUNG
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE
THE FUN SHOULD
STOP AT TWENTY-ONE
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
I WANNA LAUGH LOVE
LIKE I ALWAYS DID
THERE'S A MILLION
THINGS TO BE
BUT JUST
ONE LIFE TO LIVE
SO DEEP DOWN
IN MY HEART
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
NOW THE WORLD IS
FULL OF DOCTORS
LAWYERS MIDDLEMEN
AND BANKERS
ON WALL STREET
BUT UNDERNEATH
THE PIN-STRIPE SUITS
THEY'RE QUARTERBACKS
AND COWBOY
WANNA-BE'S
WE'RE ALL RIDIN'
THROUGH SPACE ON
A LITTLE BLUE BALL
AND I DON'T WANNA MISS
THE WIDE-EYED WONDER
OF IT ALL
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
I WANNA LAUGH LOVE
LIKE I ALWAYS DID
THERE'S A MILLION
THINGS TO BE
BUT JUST
ONE LIFE TO LIVE
SO DEEP DOWN
IN MY HEART
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
YEAH I BET JESUS SMILED
WHEN HE SAID
TO GET TO HEAVEN
YOU GOTTA BE LIKE
A LITTLE CHILD
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
I WANNA LAUGH LOVE
LIKE I ALWAYS DID
THERE'S A MILLION
THINGS TO BE
BUT JUST
ONE LIFE TO LIVE
SO DEEP DOWN
IN MY HEART
WHEN I GROW UP
I WANNA BE A KID
I WANNA BE A KID
WHEN I GROW UP
IF I EVER GROW UP
