Lyrics

Why should I grow up
What good would it do
I'd only be a bigger fool for you
So I guess I'll always be
The Kid Just Down the Street

If I ever grew up
I'd have to pretend
That it don't hurt me when I see you with him
So I guess I'll always be
The Kid Just Down the Street

If I can't have you the way that I want
I'll take my heart and run on home
Lock myself behind my bedroom door
So the world can't see me
When I'm kickin' the floor

Maybe soon I'll grow out of this dream
That someday you'll be holdin' me
But until then
I'll be the Kid Just Down the Street

Now who wants to see
A grown man cry
Every time he sees you walkin' by
Oh, I guess I'll always be
The Kid Just Down the Street

If I can't have you the way that I want
I'll take my heart and run on home
Lock myself behind my bedroom door
So the world can't see me
When I'm kickin' the floor

Maybe soon I'll grow out of this dream
That someday you'll be holdin' me
Oh, but until then
I'll be the Kid Just Down the Street
Until then
I'll be the Kid Just Down the Street
