Something happens when you grow up

I can hardly stand myself

I got giddy when he said he liked me

It took a toll when he took a job out of town

Why do I get sentimental

Love is better incremental

I fall hard and I fall fast

Learn to sip it like a fine wine

Let it unfold like a timeline

Not so much a plane to catch

Before I know it, I'll be past it

Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking

First up, teach me how to dance jitterbug

Then I'll find a job, then I'll join a club

Or I'll just watch the stars

I'll learn how to lose the race and feel fine

Stand on my feet one step at a time

We don't work like remote control cars

When my grandmother was 16

In the mirror she cried thinking

Life was passing her by

At 23 when she quit smoking

The convenience store was closing

She hung the (?) and drove right by

Before she knew it, she was past it

Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking

First up, teach me how to dance jitterbug

Then I'll find a job, then I'll join a club

Or I'll just watch the stars

I'll learn how to lose the race and feel fine

Stand on my feet one step at a time

We don't work like remote control cars

One step at a time

One step at a time

Before you know it, you'll be past it

Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking

When you're not looking
