When I was young couldn't wait to be older and mature.
Now I have aged and matured.
Wish I wasn't in such a hurry.
I'd like to be nurtured.

When I was young my biggest worry was
getting caught where I didn't belong.
Now my worries are kids, money and
being strong.

Let the mature people worry spend your
time enjoying being young.
