Lyrics

Oh yeah Yeah Little boy wishes he wasn't small He'd give his turtle to be six feet tall He's got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall And he'd try a jump shot, but he's afraid he'll fall Down Little girl wants to fall in love Dresses like her mother in white evening gloves She pretends, tells her friends she's got somewhere to go They don't ask where, so they'll never know how she feels With a shorter past There's a greater hurry Let the moment last There's no need to worry We should be living for today Or tomorrow anyway And don't ask for the world on a plate Cause you just might get it Don't ever say it's too late You know you'll regret it because Just when you're sure your life can change right before Your eyes A mother's thinking of her little boy Left home at sixteen back in '84 He's got a dog named Lucy says she's all that he needs Lucy knows better She hears all his dreams When you search yourself When you get down to it If you know yourself You know you'll get through it So, start living for today Or tomorrow anyway And don't ask for the world on a plate Cause you just might get it Don't ever say it's too late You know you'll regret it Just when you're sure your life can change right before Your eyes (before your eyes) With a shorter past There's a greater hurry But don't grow too fast There's no need to worry So, start living for today Or tomorrow anyway And don't ask for the world on a plate Cause you just might get it Don't you ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it Yeah, and don't try to tempt the hands of fate If it rains, you got to let it And don't ever say it's too late Cause Just when you're sure your life can Change right before your eyes Right before your eyes
