When I Grow Up

Some folks from time to time

Might look at me like I'm a little strange

While others will just come right out and ask me

Why don't I act my age

Well I'll admit I'm a little older than I am young

But I don't believe the fun should stop at 21

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

I wanna laugh, love, like I always did

There's a million things to be

But just one life to live

So deep down in my heart

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

Well the world is full of doctors, lawyers

Middlemen, and bankers on Wall Street

But underneath the pinstripe suits

They're quarterbacks and cowboy wannabes

We're all riding through space on a little blue ball

Well I don't wanna miss the wide-eyed wonder of it all

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

I wanna laugh, love, like I always did

There's a million things to be

But just one life to live

So deep down in my heart

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

Yeah I bet Jesus smiled

When he said to get to heaven

You gotta be like a little child

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

I wanna laugh, love, like I always did

There's a million things to be

But just one life to live

So deep down in my heart

When I grow up

I wanna be a kid

When I grow up

When I grow up

When I grow up

When I grow up
