| Back when I was seventeen
|
| I’d say all I wanna be
|
| Was twenty-one and having fun
|
| I was free and I was young
|
| I met you at twenty-three
|
| We filled our heads with crazy dreams
|
| Get a house and settle down
|
| Can’t believe that time is now
|
| People say you gotta change one day
|
| You gotta act your age
|
| Well I wanna grow up
|
| But I don’t wanna grow old
|
| I wanna look in your eyes
|
| Like the first time
|
| And always be as young as we are tonight
|
| We don’t have to grow old
|
| We don’t have to grow old
|
| There’s always things you gotta do
|
| That you don’t want to
|
| But that don’t mean that we can’t laugh
|
| And dance all night like we used to
|
| It’s 2am, the baby’s crying
|
| We’re swaying to a lullaby
|
| People say you gotta change
|
| Well I wanna grow up
|
| But I don’t wanna grow old
|
| I wanna look in your eyes
|
| Like the first time
|
| And always be as young as we are tonight
|
| We don’t have to grow old
|
| We don’t have to grow old
|
| I don’t care about anyone else, no no no
|
| Why should we stop being ourselves?
|
| Even when we’re grey and old
|
| I’ll still laugh at all your dirty jokes
|
| I’m always gonna hold your hand
|
| I’m never gonna understand why people say you gotta change
|
| Well I wanna grow up
|
| But I don’t wanna grow old
|
| I wanna look in your eyes
|
| Like the first time
|
| And always be as young as we are tonight
|
| We’ve gotta, gotta grow up
|
| We don’t have to grow old
|
| We don’t have to grow old, no
|
| Grow old, no oh yeah
|
| We don’t have to grow old |
