Another day late for the bus again
|
A single mom just trying to make ends meet
|
Go to work, be on time, get out of the grocery line
|
Before the kids get home
|
Everybody's in a hurry
|
Totally stressed out and worried
|
If only she could turn back time to when
|
She remembers
|
being 13
|
Sleeping in till 11:30
|
Dressing up in her mamma's jewellery
|
But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
|
Summer seemed to last forever
|
Parents always stayed together
|
Nothing matters, yeah whatever
|
But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
|
Sometime
|
A grey haired man in a pinstripe suit
|
His last report long overdue
|
He pulled up to his parking spot, found
|
someone took his job
|
Now what's he gonna' do?
|
Everybody's in a hurry
|
Totally stressed out and worried
|
If only he could turn back time to when
|
He remembers being 16
|
Quarterback of the old football team
|
Almost married the high school prom queen
|
But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
|
Learned to drive on all the side streets
|
Bent the rules like they meant nothing
|
Stayed out late till the early morning
|
But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
|
Sometime [x4]
|
Maybe I am only 14
|
Maybe someday I'll be prom queen
|
Drive myself to where I should be
|
But that's when I grow up, yeah that's when I grow up
|
But for now I'll drive my mamma crazy
|
Spin around till I get dizzy
|
Sleeping in till 11:30
|
But I'll have to grow up, yeah I gotta grow up sometime
|
