The little hands,
They are too delicate,
They just wanna grow up,
They don’t know how hard it is.

I wish I never grew up,
You don’t know how it’s hard,
We make it look easy,
You don’t know it.

Won’t let nobody hurt,
Won’t let anyone break your heart,
Won’t ever be burned,
Put in your place.

Wish I never grew up,
Wanna go back,
Make it different,
Be simple again.
