<[00:15.48]>Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
<[00:18.55]>And it's so quiet in the world tonight
<[00:23.17]>Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
<[00:26.28]>So I tuck you in, turn on your favourite nightlight
<[00:30.92]>To you, everything's funny
<[00:35.67]>You got nothing to regret
<[00:39.61]>I'd give all I have, honey
<[00:43.42]>If you could stay like that
<[00:45.90]>Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
<[00:49.43]>Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
<[00:53.99]>Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
<[00:56.92]>Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
<[01:02.46]>I won't let nobody hurt you
<[01:06.42]>Won't let no one break your heart
<[01:10.48]>And no one will desert you
<[01:14.54]>Just try to never grow up
<[01:23.23]>Never grow up
<[01:32.31]>You're in the car, on the way to the movies
<[01:35.34]>And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
<[01:40.04]>At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
<[01:42.87]>And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
<[01:47.60]>But don't make her drop you off around the block
<[01:51.40]>Remember that she's gettin' older, too
<[01:55.51]>And don't lose the way that you dance around
<[01:59.28]>In your PJs getting ready for school
<[02:02.68]>Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
<[02:06.00]>Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
<[02:10.69]>Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
<[02:13.72]>Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
<[02:19.56]>No one's ever burned you
<[02:23.34]>Nothing's ever left you scarred
<[02:27.25]>And even though you want to
<[02:31.40]>Just try to never grow up
<[02:41.44]>Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
<[02:49.21]>Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
<[02:55.43]>Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
<[02:59.81]>And all your little brother's favorite songs
<[03:04.62]>I just realized everything I have is, someday, gonna be gone
<[03:12.22]>So, here I am in my new apartment
<[03:15.65]>In a big city, they just dropped me off
<[03:19.96]>It's so much colder than I thought it would be
<[03:22.87]>So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
<[03:33.59]>Wish I'd never grown up
<[03:40.09]>I wish I'd never grown up
<[03:42.65]>Oh, I don't wanna grow up
<[03:45.93]>Wish I'd never grown up, I could still be little
<[03:50.75]>Oh, I don't wanna grow up
<[03:53.72]>Wish I'd never grown up, it could still be simple
<[03:58.46]>Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
<[04:01.33]>Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
<[04:06.09]>Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
<[04:08.91]>Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
<[04:14.62]>I won't let nobody hurt you (Never grow up)
<[04:18.62]>Won't let no one break your heart
<[04:22.49]>And even though you want to
<[04:26.57]>Please, try to never grow up
<[04:29.56]>Oh, oh (Never grow up)
<[04:34.99]>Don't you ever grow up
<[04:37.95]>Oh (Never grow up)
<[04:42.68]>Just never grow up
