Don't Grow Up Too Fast

if i had a little sister

and i could talk to her

i'd tell her everything i know

and everything i've learned

what i found out the hard way

it might save her some tears

so i'd share with her the wisdom

of all my sixteen years

if i had a little sister

that's what i'd do

i say go easy on the make up

easy on yourself yeah

don't believe the grapevine

it's got nothing good to sell

fast forward past the drama

smile and walk on through

you'll always measure up if you compare yourself to you

if i had a little sister

that's what i'd do

love with all that you have

cause all that you have

is right here right now

dream as big as the sky

then bring it to life

cause the one thing i've found

cause time is all

you can take back don't grow up too fast

well this next part is my favorite

cause it's about the boys yeah

half of what they say is really just a bunch of noise

you've got your whole life waiting

so don't get all caught up

in talking about forever

it'll happen soon enough

if i had a little sister

that's what i'd do

love with all that you have

cause all that you have

is right here right now

and dream as big as the sky

then bring it to life

cause the one thing i've found

cause time is all

you can't take back

don't grow up too fast

don't eat spaghetti on your first date

keep all your secrets in a safe place

and don't forget you're special in your own way

love with all that you have

cause all that you have is right here right now

and dream as big as the sky

then bring it to life

cause the one thing i've found

time is all you can't take back

yeah time is all you can't take back

don't grow up too fast
