Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version)

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger, and it's

So quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming, so I

Tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you

Won't let no one break your heart

And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up

Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies, and you're

Mortified your mom's dropping you off

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

Remember that she's getting older, too

And don't lose the way that you dance

Around in your PJ's getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

And no one's ever burned you

Nothing's ever left you scarred

And even though you want to

Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment, in a

Big city, they just dropped me off

It's so much colder than I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up

Wish I'd never grown up

Oh, I don't wanna grow up

Wish I'd never grown up

I could still be little

Oh, I don't wanna grow up

Wish I'd never grown up

It could still be simple

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you

Never grow up

Won't let no one break your heart

And even though you want to

Please try to never grow, oh, oh

Never grow up

Just never grow up, oh

Never grow up

Just never grow up
