I wonder what you'll look like

And if you'll make me laugh

What will be your temptations

Will you grow up too fast



What with all the noise around you

Will I teach you how to sing

Will you be one of those kids

Who thinks they know everything



I can see you growing up way too soon

Isn't that just what they said about me too



It's not easy being right all the time

You know someone has to be (someone has to be)

Her spirits can be undermined

Usually that someone turns out to be me



Can feel you in my skin

Feel you deep within

You ain't going nowhere

I ain't being myself



'Cause you're the reason why

I give in every time

I give you everything

(give you everything)



I hope you make the right decisions

Hope that they come easily

I know with all of us around you

We give out our opinions free



So will you stay or will you break out

To make out on your own

Will you need that kind of freedom

When you finally leave home



I can see you growing up way too soon

Isn't that just what they said about me too



It's not easy being right all the time

You know someone has to be (someone has to be)

Her spirits can be undermined

Usually that someone turns out to be me



Can feel you in my skin

Feel you deep within

You ain't going nowhere

I ain't being myself



'Cause you're the reason why

I give in every time

I give you everything

(give you everything)



Ooooh



I can see you growing up way too soon

Isn't that just what they said about me too



It's not easy being right all the time

You know someone has to be (someone has to be)

Her spirits can be undermined

Usually that someone turns out to be me



Can feel you in my skin

Feel you deep within

You ain't going nowhere

I ain't being myself



'Cause you're the reason why

I give in every time

I give you everything

(give you everything)



It's not easy being right all the time

You know someone has to be (someone has to be)

Her spirits can be undermined

Usually that someone turns out to be me



Can feel you in my skin

Feel you deep within

You ain't going nowhere

I ain't been myself

I give you everything
