Don't Grow Up Too Fast (If I Had a Little Sister)

If I had a little sister
And I could talk to her
I'd tell her everything I know and everything I've learned
What I found out the hard way
Might save her some tears
So I'd share with her the wisdom
Of all my sixteen years
If I had a little sister
That's what I'd do
I'd say go easy on the makeup
And easy on yourself
Yeah don't believe the grapevine
It's got nothing good to sell
Fast forward past the drama
Smile and walk on through
You'll always measure up if you compare yourself to you
If I had a little sister
That's what I'd do
And love with all that you have
Cuz all that you have is right here right now
And dream as big as the sky
Then bring it to life
Cuz the one thing I've found
Is time is all you can't take back
Don't grow up too fast
Well this next part is my favorite
Cuz it's about the boys
Yeah half of what they say is really just a bunch of noise
You've got your whole life waiting
So don't get all caught up
In talking about forever
It'll happen soon enough
If I had a little sister
That's what I'd do
Love with all that you have
Cuz all that you have
Is right here right now
And dream as big as the sky
Then bring it to life
Cuz the one thing I've found
Is time is all you can't take back
Don't grow up too fast
Ooooooh oooh ooh ohh oooh
Don't eat spaghetti on your first date
Keep all your secrets in a safe place
And don't forget you're special
In your own way
Love with all that you have
Cuz all that you have is right here right now
And dream as big as the sky
Then bring it to life
Cuz the one thing I've found
Is time is all you can't take back
Yeah time is all you can't take back
Don't grow up too fast
