Julia Jacklin Don T Let The Kids Win Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't let the kids win
Just let them lose
They're not gonna learn anything
If that's the way you choose to play

[Verse 2]
Don't let the kids win
Just let them fall
You don't want them growing up thinking two-year-olds are good at playing basketball

[Verse 3]
Don't let your grandmother die
While you're away
A cheap trip to Thailand's not gonna make up for never getting to say goodbye

[Verse 4]
And don't let your brother
Stop thinking you're cool
Yeah, I know, he's got a girlfriend now and he's taller, but that don't mean
He's stopped looking up to you

[Chorus]
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

[Verse 5]
And don't let your friends turn cold
While you burn to green
When they walk off the stage embrace them
And say that's the best shit I've ever seen

[Verse 6]
And don't let your sister
Walk down the aisle
Without pulling her close, saying I love you and it's okay
If I don't see you for a while

[Chorus]
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

[Verse 7]
And don't let the time go by
Without sitting your mother down
And asking what life was like for her
Before you came to be around
And tell her it's okay if she puts herself first
Us kids we'll be alright if we're not the center of her universe

[Chorus]
And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

[Outro]
And after a late one
I don't know anything
Except the more I keep on talking
The less breath I got left to sing
