I wanna go out dancing every night
And I wanna see all the city lights
And I wanna do everything that I been told
So I got to hurry up before I grow too old

And I wanna take a trip around the world
And I wanna kiss all the pretty girls
And I wanna buy everything that ain't been sold
So I got to hurry up before I grow too old

And I'm gonna do a lot of things I know is wrong
And I hope that I'm forgiven before I'm gone
Cause it will take a lot of prayers to save my soul
So I got to hurry up before I grow too old

I wanna go out dancing every night

And I wanna buy everything that ain't been sold
So I got to hurry up before I grow too old

And I'm gonna do a lot of things I know is wrong
And I hope that I'm forgiven before I'm gone
Cause it will take a lot of prayers to save my soul
So I got to hurry up before I grow too old
