Lyrics

This is how you make a wish
This is how you clean a fish
Child are you listening
To what I'm telling you

This is how you write your name
How we're gonna win this game
How you drive your mom insane
Just wait til she catches you

This is how you look both ways
How you bow your head and pray
This is what you're supposed to say
When you hurt someone
This is how you tough it out
This is what it's all about
Weren't you supposed to make this last
And who said you could grow up so fast

This is how you hold a bat
This is how you fix a flat
How you give your mom a heart attack
You just better come back down from there
THis is how you tie a shoe
This is what we're gonna do
Just run and get the super glue
Grandma won't even care
This is how you play guitar
This is how you drive a car
This is when you've gone too far
Don't you ever go there again
This is how you tough it out
This is what it's all about
Weren't you supposed to make this last
And who said you could grow up so fast

Bridge
Careful now hold my hand
Child don't you understand
Yes, I see you're superman
Didn't I say take you time
Try and stay inside the lines
Weren't you supposed to make this last
And who said you could grow up so fast

This is how you play guitar
This is how you drive a car
This is when you've gone too far
Don't you ever go there again
This is how you tough it out
This is what it's all about
Weren't you supposed to make this last
And who said you could grow up so fast

This is how you make a wish
This is how you clean a fish
Child are you listening
To what I'm telling you
