Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids
Flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in
Turn on your 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
Oohhh darling don't you ever grow up,
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Ohh 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
Wont let no one break your heart
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 fourteen, 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 PJs getting ready for school
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
And no one's ever burned you
Nothin's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood rooOOoom
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite 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 tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Ohhh, I don't want to grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Ooohh I don't want to 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
Ooooh, I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want too
Please try to never grow up
Ohhhohoh,ohhoh, don't you ever grow up
-once
Ohhhoh,(never grow up) just never grow up
Have fun!! :)
