You want it all right now, just hurry up and wait Girl, you're right on time, trust me, you're not too late I hate to see you rain those mascara tears But you can't drown in the water beyond your ears Just don't grow up so fast, you don't wanna know what I know yet Maybe on paper it looks better way up here Don't you hurry, try to take it slow You will get there before you know it Ain't just the bad times, the good times too shall pass Just don't grow up so fast The world will turn, shadows fall There's your pencil marks in the corner on the kitchen wall Yeah, to remind us all Just don't grow up so fast, you don't wanna know what I know yet Maybe on paper it looks better way up here Don't you hurry, try to take it slow You will get there before you know it Ain't just the bad times, the good times too shall pass So don't grow up so fast Ooh Just don't grow up so fast, you don't wanna know what I know yet Maybe on paper it looks better way up here Don't you hurry, try to take it slow We all get there before we know it Ain't just the bad times, the good times too shall pass There's only so much sand in the hourglass So don't grow up so fast Ooh
