My Bebe's Grown Up Blues - Billy Joe Green

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee I wrote to you With childhood fantasies Well, I'm all grown up now Can you still help somehow? I'm not a child But my heart still can dream So here's my lifelong wish My grown-up Christmas list Not for myself But for our world in need No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Every man would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list What is this illusion called? The innocence of youth Maybe only in our blind belief Can we ever find the truth There'd be no more lives torn apart And wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Every man would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas wish This is my only lifelong wish This is my grown-up Christmas list

Well I'm all grown up Ain't no baby no more I can do the things I couldn't do before No more pony-tails I wear my hair up high Because I'm seventeen And that's the reason why Now I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go See who I wanna see, stay out late I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait Well I'm going on dates Every Saturday night And if he wants a kiss I might say all right I got my high heels on And I'm a-ready to go I'm gonna go down town I'm gonna steal the show Now I'm all grown up and I'll go where I wanna go See who I wanna see, stay out late I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait All grown up and I'll go where I wanna go See who I wanna see, stay out late I'm all grown up and I'll do what I wanna do Be what I wanna be, neat, I can hardly wait Gee, I can hardly wait

I've been drunk all night You keep calling Are they happy now? Watchin' us falling Secret we should hide Don't know if I can It's who we are This is who I am Oh tonight they are up for love But our world Isn't ready To Understand us Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Driving to the hills Chasing the sun We are just two boys Don't know why we run If we end it now Heavens got no tears We can fly so high Far away from here Find some light They are up for love But our world Isn't ready If there's open scars Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Let them going You know we should try Oh you know we should try If this what we want You know in our lives It happens just one time There's only one chance Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us
