Teenage Fanclub - When We Grow Up lyrics

When we grow up, will I be pretty? Will you be big and strong? Will I wear dresses that show off my knees? Will you wear trousers twice as long? Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all And I don't care if you never get tall I like what I look like, and you're nice small We don't have to change at all Hey! When we grow up, will I be a lady? Will you be an engineer? Will I have to wear things like perfume and gloves? I can still pull the whistle while you steer Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all And I don't care if you never get tall I like what I look like, and you're nice small We don't have to change at all When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy and do what I like to do Like making noise and making faces and making friends like you And when we grow up, do you think we'll see That I'm still like you and you're still like me? I might be pretty; you might grow tall But we don't have to change at all Spoken: I don't want to change, see, 'cause I still want to be your friend, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
