[Verse 1]
I was a problem child
Dirt under my nails and my hair was wild
No one loves a problem child
I was a liability
Just a little brat, but trouble followed me
Is that a problem when you're a child?
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking back on pictures of me
Lost my shoes climbing up tall trees
I wish I could tell me then
You should eat more worms and come home dirty
Wipe your nose onto your right sleeve
You won't get this time again
[Chorus]
Won't listen to what they say
You're doing just fine
Don't tell me how to behave
I'll do it in my own time
I just want to feel young
I just want to feel young
[Verse 2]
I wonder what they say now
Chips on my nails and my hair's grown out
People love my problem child
They say that I should talk it out
But instead I just write it down
People love where I am now
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking back on pictures of me
Lost my shoes climbing up tall trees
I wish I could tell me then
You should eat more worms and come home dirty
Wipe your nose onto your right sleeve
You won't get this time again
[Chorus]
Won't listen to what they say
You're doing just fine
Don't tell me how to behave
I'll do it in my own time
I just want to feel young
I just want to feel young
[Bridge]
If you could see me now
You wouldn't have slowed me down
If you could see me now
You wouldn't have written me out of my story
If you could see me now
You wouldn't have slowed me down
If you could see me now
You wouldn't have written me out of my story
[Chorus]
Won't listen to what they say
You're doing just fine
Don't tell me how to behave
I'll do it in my own time
I just want to feel young
I just want to feel young
Won't listen to what they say
You're doing just fine
Don't tell me how to behave
I'll do it in my own time
I just want to feel young
I just want to feel young
