I got one small thing, that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine?
Well, I know one thing, I won't be forgotten

I don't got nothin' and I want a lot
If money can't buy it, I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be, long forgotten

'Cause I know, what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
It's totally out of reach

Yeah, I know, what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
I wanna stay young, stay young

So, hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see

I don't care about society
I don't care about responsibility
And I don't need no one
I'm out on my own

I won't grow old and I don't wanna die
You say, I'm too young but that's a dirty lie
I wanna be on my own, now

'Cause I know, what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
It's totally out of reach

Yeah, I know, what I need
(But I don't know how to get it)
I wanna stay young

So, hold on to 18
I know what I like, babe
Hold on to 18
They can't see what I see

I've got one small thing, that's on my mind
Am I half dead or am I doin' fine?
Well, I know one thing, I won't be forgotten

I don't got nothin', and I want a lot
If money can't buy it, I don't wanna talk
Don't wanna be

Hold on to 18
(Hold on, to 18)
I know what I like, babe

Hold on to 18
(Hold on, to 18)
They can't see, what I see

Hold on to 18
(Hold on, to 18)
I know what I like, babe

Hold on to 18
(Hold on, to 18)
Hold on to 18
