Another day late for the bus again
A single mom just trying to make ends meet
Go to work, be on time, get out of the grocery line
Before the kids get home

Everybody's in a hurry
Totally stressed out and worried
If only she could turn back time to when
She remembers being thirteen

Sleeping in till eleven thirty
Dressing up in her mama's jewelery
But she had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up

Summer seemed to last forever
Parents always stayed together
Nothing matters, yeah whatever
But she had to grow up, yeah, we gotta grow up
Sometime

A gray haired man in a pinstripe suit
His last report long overdue
He pulled up to his parking spot
Found someone took his job
Now what's he gonna do?

Everybody's in a hurry
Totally stressed out and worried
If only he could turn back time to when
He remembers being sixteen

Quarterback of the old football team
Almost married the high school prom queen
But he had to grow up, yeah, we gotta grow up

Learned to drive on all the side streets
Bent the rules like they meant nothing
Stayed out late till the early morning
But he had to grow up, yeah we gotta grow up
Sometime, sometime
Sometime, sometime

Maybe I am only fourteen
Maybe someday I'll be prom queen
Drive myself to where I should be
But that's when I grow up, yeah, that's when I grow up

But for now I'll drive my mama crazy
Spin around till I get dizzy
Sleeping in till eleven thirty
But I'll have to grow up, yeah, I gotta grow up sometime
