When You Grow Up

Priscilla Ahn When You Grow Up Lyrics
1.When You Grow Up

When you were young enough
Doing all that fun kid stuff
Did you think of what you'd be?

Marco Polo in the pool
Kickball games behind the school
Playing tag and hide 'n' seek

When you grow up, what kind of boy will you be?
Oh, what will you be?

Drawing pictures with some chalk
Raindrops wash it from the walk
Summer days it never ends

Spin the bottle on the ground
Watch it turning round and round
Maybe he will be my friend

When you grow up, what kind of girl will you be?
Oh, what will you be?

Will you write a book or invent a machine?
Will you be an astronaut or will you sail the sea?

When you grow up, what kind of person will you be?
Oh the things you'll be happy

2.One Day I Will Do

I'm so confused
'Bout what I'm supposed to do
Life can throw many options to choose from

Should I go left
Or should I go down?
Will I find what I'm looking for
Right here?

I know I can do all that my heart wants to
Like running away
But I just can't seem to

Time seems to go
So fast that I don't know
What I've done with myself in a day like today
So many plans to make
Too many I will break
It's easy to get down on myself
This way

I know I can do all that my heart wants to
Like ending this race
But I just can't seem to

One day I know
One day I'll be
Looking back on me
Looking back on me
Looking back on me

This I promise you
One day I will do
Everything so perfect and good
I swear, I swear

3.Oo La La

What if you took the long way down
To your favorite cafe on the east side of town?
And you got stuck at the light
So you turn down a side street
But you couldn't drive down 'cause it's a Saturday swap meet
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

So you get out of your car
And you walk through the crowd
You bargain for a teapot in the shape of an owl
So you walk and you walk and you walk to the coffee shop
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

You feel lonely and shy
But you take the empty seat next to the cute guy

What if he smiled when you asked for the time?
Your pen wouldn't write, so he said, 'Take mine'
When your coffee got cold, he bought you another
You didn't know it yet, but you were meant for each other
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo

What if you talked 'til it was time to go?
He said, 'See you around'
And you said, 'Who knows?'
But you knew in your heart
That you'd see him again
After walking down a side street coming from a new direction
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la
Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo


4.Vibe So Hot

You've got a vibe so hot
You're really, really turning me on
Swimming in your parking lot
I'm singing in a camp on your lawn

And everyday without you is just a waste of time
You're the first thing on my mind when I wake up
You're the last thing that I think of when I go to sleep
I'm throwing you my love, so pick it up

And you can have me anytime you want
You can have me really anytime you want
You can have me anytime you want
You can have me really anytime you want
I want you now
I want you right now
I want you right now
I want you right now

I wanna hook you up
Boy, I'm gonna set you on fire
I wanna turn your volume up
And listen to you all day long

Now every other station's just a memory
I tuned you in and then broke off the dial
Isn't it funny how you just keep running into me
I've been listening to your music for a while

And you can have me anytime you want
You can have me really anytime you want
You can have me anytime you want
You can have me really anytime you want
I want you now
I want you right now
I want you right now
I want you right now


5.City Lights (Pretty Lights)

Look at me now, we're on the town
Kicking up dust, it's all for us
City lights, pretty lights just take me out to play

Dressing me up as red for luck
So much to do to hide the blue
City lights, pretty lights just wear me out they say

Buttons and ribbons are finding their place
Smearing the make-up I put on my face
Spiders and lizards are tying my shoes
Whispering da da da, da da da, da da da

Finding my crutch, a gentle touch
Finding my dance, retreat, advance
City lights, pretty lights just wring me out to dry

Buttons and ribbons are finding their place
Smearing the make-up I put on my face
Spiders and lizards are tying my shoes
Whispering da da da (da da da), da da da (da da da), da da da


6.I Don't Have Time To Be In Love

I don't have time to be in love
Kissing you on the cheek, 200 times a week
I don't have time to be in love
Watching a foreign film, feet on the windowsill
But that's not true when I'm with you

I don't have time to be in love
Way too much candlelight, keeping me warm at night
I don't have time to be in love
Cooking a meal for two, climbing all over you
But that's not true when I'm with you

Cause I used to be there for you when you were so blue
I'd walk with you in the rain
Nothing was better when we did it together
I don't have time for love

I don't have time to be in love
Holding you to my chest, feeling your every breath
I don't have time to be in love
Laughing so hard we cry, sometimes I don't know why
I don't have time to be in love
Maybe this revelry just wasn't meant for me
But that's not true when I'm with you
When I'm with you


7.Cry Baby

You don't call anymore
You don't look on this door
Just a picture, you out there without me
Breaks my heart into two
What am I suppose to do
When I thought you would never ever leave?

Cry baby, I am
Cry baby, I am

If I knew you would leave
Then this heart on my sleeve
Would be safe and sound inside of me
But I guess I'm the fool
And you were too cool
I can see this was never meant to be for me

Cry baby, I am
Cry baby, I am
Cry baby, I am
Cry, cry, cry
Cry baby, I am


8.Lost Cause

I'm a sinner, I ain't a saint
I should pray as much as I complain
Oh, it's all just a lost cause

And if you knew me when I was eight
I was the queen of Labor Day parades
Oh, it's all just a lost cause,
Lost cause
I'm waiting for the reason for it all
Lost cause

When you work to buy some food
Then you work to turn it in love
Oh, it feels just like a lost cause
And when you're marching in peace parades
But it feels just like charades
Oh, it's all just a lost cause

I'm pretty lazy, I like to sleep
You could say I am pretty beat
Oh, am I just a lost cause?
Lost cause
I'm waiting for the reason for it all
Lost cause

Lost cause
I'm waiting for the reason for it all
Lost cause


9.Empty House

Empty house, my old friend
We meet again
I have been gone for so long
But here I am

It's been a long time since I laid on this bed

Dusty shelves, stains in the rug
Broken door to mend
Here is where they used to lie
And wanted it all to end

It's been a long time since I laid on this bed

Old memories
Haunt me
Haunt me
Haunt me
Haunt me

Empty house, my old friend
We'll meet again
And again


10.I Will Get Over You

I painted my nails for my birthday
I turned to gray, my color had drained
Cause I finally saw how you hurt me
I was blinded by love, rewarded with pain

And I will get over you
It hurts right now
But I know it's true

I thought we had something golden
I thought that we'd outlive them all
I hoped that we would grow old
But I'm just another brick in your wall

But I will get over you
It hurts right now
But I know it's true

I may break down
I imagine your arms
Around me in my mind
So wrong, so right

And I will get over you
It hurts right now
But I know it's true

I will get over you
It hurts right now
But I know it's true

But I will get over you
It hurts right now
But I know it's true


11.iElf Song

She was an elf with long legs
Who had no friends
Cause everyone around her was small and petite
Perfect and she was all so different

She didn't like it at all
Why must I be so tall?
Was I meant to be completely alone?
And oh, I want something different

Once, when the moon was full
She sat on her stool
An said 'Hello, old friend, could you grant me a wish
And take me away to some place that's different'

So the moon sang a tune
And it went like this:
'You are so beautiful, so special
And someday you will find a love
That's strong and kind and true'

And when she opened her eyes
To her surprise, there was a man
With very large hands to hold hers
And he was all so different


12.Torch Song

Long ago, I thought I heard your name
I thought it was the same
As all the boys I made into men
But you were different then

You are the only one to know me
You are the only one to see
You were my one and only
The only one I ever learned to love

The ocean's waves could not steal my heart
They can't keep us apart
Soon ahead, I will watch you go
But I won't be alone

You are the only one to know me
You are the only one to care
You were my one and only
The only one I ever learned to love

You are the only one to know me
You are the only one who saw
You were my one and only
The only one I ever learned to love
The only one I ever wanna love
The only one I'm ever gonna love
