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
