| I don’t want you growing up to be me
|
| Given everything to chase my dreams
|
| You don’t have to worry yet
|
| I can hold you close
|
| When she throws away your teenage heart
|
| When you pass the test but crash the car
|
| Big boys have to cry sometimes
|
| It’s okay if you do
|
| If you need me, I’m here
|
| Just gonna love you the best that I can
|
| And if you call me at 4 AM
|
| I’ll be there, I’ll be right there
|
| So go and tear this world apart
|
| 'Cause I know you’ll do it
|
| With your momma’s heart
|
| And all that I ask is don’t grow up to be me
|
| Grow up to be you
|
| I know that I’ll catch you stealing liquour from me
|
| 'Cause I remember doing the same at sixteen
|
| Wake you on the bathroom floor
|
| Make sure you’re alright
|
| 'Cause when you need me, I’m here
|
| When you get in trouble I’ll steer you clear
|
| And when you call me for a lift home
|
| I’ll be there, I’ll be right there
|
| So go and tear this world apart
|
| 'Cause I know you’ll do it with your momma’s heart
|
| And all that I ask is don’t grow up to be me
|
| Grow up to be you
|
| If you get lost among the stars
|
| Don’t forget you’ve always got your momma’s heart
|
| And I don’t wanna push you, whatever you do
|
| Grow up to be you
|
| Now there’s a reason and a rhyme for most things
|
| But you should try to find your own in everything
|
| And take your time, there’s no rush to grow up
|
| So go and tear this world apart
|
| 'Cause I know you’ll do it with your momma’s heart
|
| And all that I ask is don’t grow up to be me
|
| Grow up to be you
|
| If you get lost among the stars
|
| Don’t forget you’ve always got your momma’s heart
|
| And I don’t wanna push you, whatever you do
|
| Grow up to be you
|
| No, I don’t want to push you, whatever you do
|
| Grow up to be you |
