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 te in
Turn on your preferito night light
To you, everything's funny
te got nothing to regret
I'd give all I had, honey
If te could stay like that

Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
It can stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your cuore
And no one will desert te
Just try to never grow up, and never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the Film
And, you're mortified
You're mom's dropping te off
At, fourteen there's just so much te can't do
And te can't wait to sposta out someday and call your own shots
But, don't make her drop te off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that te dance around in your PJ's getting ready for school

Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
It can stay this simple

And no one's ever burned te
Nothing's ever left te scarred
And even though te 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 get's home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words detto
And all you're little brothers preferito songs
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone

So, here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So, I tucked myself in and turned my night light on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh, I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple

Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't te ever grow up
Don't te ever grow up
It can stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt te
Won't let no one break your cuore
And even te want to
Please, try to never grow up

Oh, whoa
Don't te ever grow up
Oh, whoa
Never grow up
Just never grow up
