faVorite night light / to you everything’s funny / you got nothing to regret / i’d give all i have, honey / if you could stay like that // chorus / 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 /
and 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 14, 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 your pj's getting ready for school // chorus / 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 / no one’s ever burned you / nothing's ever left you scarred / and even though you want to / please
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 all your little brother's favorite songs / 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 so much colder
than i thought it would be / so i tuck myself in and turn 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 / i 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 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 /
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 / oh / don’t you ever grow up / oh / never grow up / just never grow up //
