• I'm almost grown up now, momma
    Eighteen years went by too fast
    Half your life you gave to me
    And I'm almost grown up now

    It'll all be okay now, momma
    Don't turn away and hide your tears
    I promise I won't leave too soon
    And it'll all be okay now

    Why do the doctors call, momma?
    Why do they say you're not okay?
    You told me you'd always be with me
    So why do the doctors call?

    Do I have to sign my name, momma
    On papers that say "do not resuscitate"?
    Why is the decision left to me?
    So do I have to sign my name?

    I don't want to say goodbye, momma
    I don't want to watch you go away
    I don't want it to be over
    And I don't want to say goodbye

    I'm all grown up now, momma
    But now I don't want to be eighteen
    I want to be young again, naive
    But i'm all grown up now...
