Not Quite Grown Up<\/p>\n
I met you and I couldn\u2019t believe it.
\nBut, I was glad to just receive it.
\nThe kind of fun I have with you.
\nIt seems no one else will do.<\/p>\n
Just two kids, having a ball.
\nDoing things we did when small.
\nNow that we are all grown up.
\nYou might think we\u2019re in a rut.
\nStuck in our adult acting ways.
\nAlways the same, day after day.
\nBut, we\u2019re just two kids, having a ball.
\nDoing the things we did when small.<\/p>\n
They would tell me: “Grow up.”
\nAct your age. Don\u2019t be a butt.
\nThen I met you and off we went.
\nPeter Pan syndrome is heaven sent.<\/p>\n
We would play into one another.
\nPass a pole and say \u201cBread & butter.\u201d
\nHaving more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
\nHaving a blast. Never feeling funky.<\/p>\n
Just two kids, having a ball.
\nDoing things we did when small.
\nNow that we are all grown up.
\nYou might think we we\u2019re in a rut.
\nStuck in our adult acting ways.
\nAlways the same, day after day.
\nBut, we\u2019re just two kids, having a ball.
\nDoing the things we did when small.<\/p>\n
We act mature when we need to.
\nBut,—– between me and you.
\nIt\u2019s more fun to act like a kid.
\nIt causes other adults to flip their lid.<\/p>\n
