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 13   Sleeping in till 11:30   Dressing up in her mamma's jewellery   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 grey 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 16   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 [x4]   Maybe I am only 14   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 mamma crazy   Spin around till I get dizzy   Sleeping in till 11:30   But I'll have to grow up, yeah I gotta grow up sometime
