Coby Grant - When I Was Young lyrics
[Coby Grant - When I Was Young lyrics]
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
Silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
But nowadays that don't buy you nothing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm supposed to be a woman
But I still feel like a girl
Even though I've grown up tall
I feel small in this big world
The candles that I'm blowing
Adding up as time goes by
I used to wish to be a grownup
Now I miss the girl inside
Oh, those days of play dates
In my friends backyard
And sandpit spades, dress-ups, potions
Monkey bars
And now we're paying off our debt
Dealing with our daily stress
If I could just forgеt
I'd go straight back to when I was young
My boyfriend has just left mе
For a great job overseas
I remember Johnny Abbott in grade five
He'd never leave well my rent is overdue
And my laundry is piling up
I don't want to go to work today
It all feels like too much
Oh, those days of play dates
In my friends backyard
And sandpit spades, dress-ups, potions
Monkey bars
And now we're paying off our debt
Dealing with our daily stress
If I could just forget
I'd go straight back to when I was young
Ooh, ba ba ba, ba ba ba bam, ba ba ba bam
And when I look photographs
And all that's happened in the past
I wish that I could take myself back there
And I like the best
Make-believe that I'm a princess
And mom and dad will tuck me in
And give me a butterfly kiss
Goodnight, sleep tight
Oh, those days of play dates
In my friends backyard
And sandpit spades, dress-ups, potions
Monkey bars
And now we're paying off our debt
Dealing with our daily stress
If I could just forget
I'd go straight back to when
Oh, those days of play dates
In my friends backyard
And sandpit spades, dress-ups, potions
Monkey bars
And now we're paying off our debt
Dealing with our daily stress
If I could just forget
I'd go straight back to when
I said if I could just forget
I'd go straight back to when I was young
All dressed in black, black, black
Silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
But nowadays that don't buy you nothing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm supposed to be a woman
But I still feel like a girl
Even though I've grown up tall
I feel small in this big world
The candles that I'm blowing
Adding up as time goes by
I used to wish to be a grownup
Now I miss the girl inside
Oh, those days of play dates
In my friends backyard
And sandpit spades, dress-ups, potions
Monkey bars
And now we're paying off our debt
