When We Grow Up (feat. Roberta Flack)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When we grow up, will I be pretty?
Will I be big and strong?
Will I wear dresses that show off my knees?
Will I wear trousers twice as long?
Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all
And I don't care if I never get tall
I like what you look like
And you're nice small
We don't have to change at all
When we grow up, will I be a lady?
Will I be on the Moon?
Well, it might be alright to dance by its light
But I'm gonna get up there soon
Well, I don't care if you're pretty at all
And I don't care if you never get tall
I like what you look like
And you're nice small
We don't have to change at all
When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy
I'll do what I like to do
Like making noise
And making faces
And making friends like you
And when we grow up, do you think we'll see
That I'm still like you
And you're still like me?
I might be pretty
I might grow tall
But we don't have to change at all
