When I Was Younger Lyrics

When I was younger
I told my mother
I say one day im gonna make you proud
Now that im older
its so much harder
to say those words out loud

your growing taller
a little smarter
and one day your gonna leave home
oh will you look like your mothers father
oh when you are fully grown
ooh ooh ohh oh oh oho ho...

When i was younger i asked my father
why are we so human
now that im older
i think i figured it out
were just doing what we can

oh oooh oh oh...
cause i wont
i wont lay you down
i wont lay you
i wont lay you down oh now
i wont i wont lay down
i wont lay you i wont lay you i wont, i wont lay you down

when i was younger i told my mother
i say one day im gonna make you proud
