Aselin Debison - Had To Grow Up Lyrics
(Debison/Martin/Thomson)Another day late for the bus againA single mom just trying to make ends meetGo to work, be on time, get out of the grocery lineBefore the kids get homeEverybody's in a hurryTotally stressed out and worriedIf only she could turn back time to whenShe remembersbeing 13Sleeping in till 11:30Dressing up in her mamma's jewelleryBut she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow upSummer seemed to last foreverParents always stayed togetherNothing matters, yeah whateverBut she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow upSometimeA grey haired man in a pinstripe suitHis last report long overdueHe pulled up to his parking spot, foundsomeone took his jobNow what's he gonna' do?Everybody's in a hurryTotally stressed out and worriedIf only he could turn back time to whenHe remembers being 16Quarterback of the old football teamAlmost married the high school prom queenBut he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow upLearned to drive on all the side streetsBent the rules like they meant nothingStayed out late till the early morningBut he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow upSometime x4Maybe I am only 14Maybe someday I'll be prom queenDrive myself to where I should beBut that's when I grow up, yeah that's when I grow upBut for now I'll drive my mamma crazySpin around till I get dizzySleeping in till 11:30But I'll have to grow up, yeah I gotta grow up sometime
