Oh yeah

Yeah

Little boy wishes he wasn't small

He'd give his turtle to be six feet tall

He's got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall

And he'd try a jump shot, but he's afraid he'll fall

Down

Little girl wants to fall in love

Dresses like her mother in white evening gloves

She pretends, tells her friends she's got somewhere to go

They don't ask where, so they'll never know how she feels

With a shorter past

There's a greater hurry

Let the moment last

There's no need to worry

We should be living for today

Or tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate

Cause you just might get it

Don't ever say it's too late

You know you'll regret it because

Just when you're sure your life can change right before

Your eyes

A mother's thinking of her little boy

Left home at sixteen back in '84

He's got a dog named Lucy says she's all that he needs

Lucy knows better

She hears all his dreams

When you search yourself

When you get down to it

If you know yourself

You know you'll get through it

So, start living for today

Or tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate

Cause you just might get it

Don't ever say it's too late

You know you'll regret it

Just when you're sure your life can change right before

Your eyes (before your eyes)

With a shorter past

There's a greater hurry

But don't grow too fast

There's no need to worry

So, start living for today

Or tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate

Cause you just might get it

Don't you ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it

Yeah, and don't try to tempt the hands of fate

If it rains, you got to let it

And don't ever say it's too late

Cause Just when you're sure your life can

Change right before your eyes

Right before your eyes
