I'm 10 years old, riding my bike down the street. Yelling to my friends to wait up. I wonder, when did I learn to run, to laugh, to ride a bike? When did I grow up?
I'm 15 years old, begging my mom to wear makeup that's much too old for me, to cover the pimples I only imagine I have. I wonder, when did I learn to whine, to beg, to plead? When did I grow up?
I'm 20 years old, living in a far and distant land, alone. Living with a person I've never met until now, and raising their children while trying to find my place. I wonder, when did I learn independance, freedom, stregnth? When did I grow up?
I'm 22 years old, living alone with my beautiful daughter, in a too small appartment, with cozy walls and a little kitchenette. I wonder, when will I have time to sing, to ride a bike, to put on make up, to be free?
When did I grow up?

Through the years and the kids and the jobs
Hey hey, Cinderella, what's the story all about
We're older but no more the wise -- suzy bogguss -- |
