Lyrics
1. when you were first born, we were all so proud
a tiny little thing, but you could yell out so loud
Every thing you did was a miracle it seemed,
and lately I've been wishing we could have those days again
please please please please, don't grow up
2. then you were a child going off to school
we were so worried about what you might get into
All those nasty kids leading you astray
I was amazed when things turned out Ok
please please please please, don't grow up
Bridge
Well, it must have been your mother's love that guided you so good
When it seemed like there was no way to protect you from the world
there's challenges ahead but I know you've got the mind
just remember what your mother taught you, things will work out fine.
3. Now you're almost grown, so here's a word or two
I hope you chase your dream, wherever that may take you
life is way too short to worry about mistakes
so have some fun and help to make this world a better place
please please please please, don't grow up
please please please please, stay out of trouble
please please please please, don't get arrested
please please please please, how about a phone call?
please please please please, don't grow up
