Wait a little longer kid What you want to grow up so fast for? Why you doing like I did? Didn't you say I got what I asked for? But you're afraid to find out Like me and climb out But you're always close to me You got a different story It's the same damn thing Got a long way, rest your feet I know you can do anything You were such a handsome boy Don't you give up your glory Why you want to hit them streets? Didn't you never hear my story? And it's fine to waste time But you got a beautiful mind And you're always close to me You're a different kid But it's the same damn thing And it's a long way, you better rest your feet I know that you want everything That's what you told me I still believe you I still see it's true I need you and I know you, dear But if you've gotta make it then I can take it from here Wait a little longer kid Didn't I never say I would miss you? Don't go until I come home Please don't go until I kiss you And it's hard to grow up But we all know it's tough Yeah, you're always close to me You have a different story It's the same damn thing You got a long way, c'mon and rest your feet I know you can do anything
