Toys
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know about you but I'm not through
'Cause when we're wrinkled and gray
I hope there's still a kid in you,
Who wants to come out and play.

What is this gadget in hand? What is for?
It's not my imagination, I can see a dinosaur
Ooh, look at the pretty teddy bear
Gotta hug that bear
We're in a place that brings together
Toy's you'll treasure forever
Everything is here and waiting
No time for hesitating

Chorus:
When I grow up (Grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
Look at all the really cool things kids can get into
Ooh (ooh)
When I grow up (Grow up, grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
I wanna have some fun and stay forever young
This fits so easy in my hand
It's a perfect size
I wanna see that shiny tractor
It depends on what you're after

I gotta go see the kitchen store
It's state of the art
Everything is there for baking, broiling, boling, oiling, shaking
This paradise of toys just might be better than boys

Chorus

Everything is here for waiting, it's time for celebrating





Chorus (2x)
