    I want to go back to when we were younger
    When happy meals from McDonald's filled our hunger
    When the highlight of our week was losing our tooth
    When we couldn't reach the counter at the amusement park booth

    I want to go back to when we were kids
    Where we didn't even know our multiplication grids
    Where we didn't care when we had scraps on ours knees
    Where when we went to Grandma's, her hug was always a tight squeeze

    I want to go back...
    ... to when we had our parents read a book in one of the stacks
    ... to when the only people we knew were our family and elementary friends
    ...to when we soon fell asleep after the day ends

    But we can't and it is all just something you can recall
    No more toys like that one favorite ball
    No more kiddy shows and cartoons
    No more nap time in the afternoons

    Now it is all different, we start to grow up
    The dog that we bought as a child is no longer a pup
    You don't smell like milk anymore you have to smell nice
    You don't want to put on weight from pie so; you can only have one slice

    Looks are everything now
    Don't forget to pluck that eye brow!
    Clothes make the difference, makeup is important
    Brush your hair, wash your face, did you put on deodorant?

    You can't go out with stains from grape juice anymore
    You get drunk and sleep with a guy, now you're called a wh0re
    Rumors everywhere, don't do anything stupid
    In spring keep your eyes open, on the way is cupid

    Again we grow and our teenage years fade away
    You don't spend afternoons with friends at the cafe
    Now you have a jobs, kids, a family, until you grow old
    Now it's your grandkids turn to be uncontrolled
