When I Was Younger lyrics

When I was younger I told my mother I said: One day I'm gonna make you proud Now that I'm older It's so much harder To say those words out loud You're growing taller A little smarter And one day you're gonna leave home Oh, will you look like your mother's father Oh, when you are fully grown? Ooh ooh oh oh oh oho ho When I was younger, I asked my father Why are we so human? Now that I'm older I think I figured it out We're just doing what we can Oh ooh oh oh Because I won't I won't lay you down I won't lay you I won't lay you down, oh now I won't, I won't lay down I won't lay you, I won't lay you, I won't, I won't lay you down When I was younger, I told my mother I said: One day I'm gonna make you proud
