Aselin Debison Had To Grow Up Lyrics

Had To Grow Up Lyrics



(Debison/Martin/Thomson)



Another day late for the bus again

A single mom just trying to make ends meet

Go to work, be on time, get out of the grocery line

Before the kids get home

Everybody's in a hurry

Totally stressed out and worried

If only she could turn back time to when

She remembers

being 13

Sleeping in till 11:30

Dressing up in her mamma's jewellery

But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up

Summer seemed to last forever

Parents always stayed together

Nothing matters, yeah whatever

But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up

Sometime

A grey haired man in a pinstripe suit

His last report long overdue

He pulled up to his parking spot, found

someone took his job

Now what's he gonna' do?

Everybody's in a hurry

Totally stressed out and worried

If only he could turn back time to when

He remembers being 16

Quarterback of the old football team

Almost married the high school prom queen

But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up

Learned to drive on all the side streets

Bent the rules like they meant nothing

Stayed out late till the early morning

But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up

Sometime x4

Maybe I am only 14

Maybe someday I'll be prom queen

Drive myself to where I should be

But that's when I grow up, yeah that's when I grow up

But for now I'll drive my mamma crazy

Spin around till I get dizzy

Sleeping in till 11:30

But I'll have to grow up, yeah I gotta grow up sometime
