[Verse 1]

I'll be the one that stays 'til the end

And I'll be the one that needs you again

And I'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses

And truly loves you long after our curtain closes

[Chorus]

But will you still love me when nobody wants me around?

When I turn eighty-one and forget things, will you still be proud?

[Verse 2]

'Cause I am the one that's waited this long

And I am the one that might get it wrong

And I'll be the one that will love you the way I'm supposed to, girl, oh

[Chorus]

But will you still love me when nobody wants me around, around?

When I turn eighty-one and forget things, will you still be proud?

[Bridge]

Proud of me and my short list of accomplishments, say

And me and my lack of new news

Me and my selfishness, oh, me and myself

Wish you nothing but a happy new version of you

[Outro]

Because I

I, mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, yeah

I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself

So I can say it's gonna be alright, yeah

And I want you to love me the way you love your family

The way you love to show me what it's like

To be happy
