it's taken me this long
to make my way to life
and find out where i belong
it's crazy, i'm getting older
and i still don't know what to do
i wanna get life started
there's not a minute to lose

chorus

i don't wanna grow up
i wanna stay young
there's too many songs
that i still haven't sung
i wanna be free
fly like a bird
don't wanna grow up
there's too much to learn
yeah i'm just a little girl
but i don't wanna grow up

i remember when i was little
and had nothing to lose
the only thing that could hurt me
was a scrape or a bruise
back then and even right now
a hundred years seems really long
but in the end it's not
and there'll always be a new song
chorus
i wanna swim across the ocean
and climb the tallest mountain
and fly way past the moon
about a million stars out there
you see i can't grow up
there's too much to do
so little time
and so much to lose
chorus
chorus
it's taken me this long
to make my way through life
and find out where i belong
it's crazy, i'm getting older
and i still don't know what to do
i wanna get life started
there's not a minute to lose
