When They Get Older - Okey Dokey, Rayland Baxter

I wanna be just like you

With a smile on my face

Facing my lover

I wanna be just like you

Heart on my sleeve

Child on my shoulder

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

When they get older

I wanna be just like you

Leaves on my tree

Never touching the driveway

I wanna see what you do

When you sing in my dream

I sing for you too

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

When they get older

And I don’t wanna be a-roaming like you

I’d be happy in a room with a view

No, I’m not ready for you tree comforts

I’d rather sit around everyday

And watch a million hours trickle away

No, I’m not ready for your picket fences

'Cause I don’t follow the buzz

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

Like everyone does

When they get older

I wanna be just like you

With a smile on my face

Facing my lover
