Ben Folds Five - Hiro's Song lyrics

rate me

My name is Hiro, i am 51

Since 1980 life has been no fun,

and I don't want to die- i left my family for the secretary

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

Her name is Yuko she is 22

She and my daughter were best friends in high school

They same I'm crazy and it's temporary

But I refuse to rot like my contemporaries

I want to explode- in a kareoke supernova

(chorus:)

I don't wanna grow old

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode

I don't wanna grow old

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode, uh oh

In a kareoke supernova, yeah

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

Last night she dressed me up in hip hop pants

That phat g - style that rides below your ass

She wants to show me to her mom and dad

I told her I would not be down with that

'Cuz lately I can feel the years between us

And hope to God the friends at work don't see us.

Tonight she asked me if I'd ever seen Jesus

'Cuz she had backstage passes for the three of us

(chorus)

So now she's gone and broke my heart, God damn her

Turns out she's been fucking his drum programmer

She likes his style, she likes his rock star glamour

Well she's an infant, he can damn-well have her.

I don't wanna grow old

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode

I don't wanna grow old

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode

I don't wanna grow old (wanna grow old)

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode

I don't wanna grow old (wanna grow old)

Won't you let me, won't you let me explode, uh oh

In a kareoke supernova

All right, all right bring the saxes in

that's good, keep it up

OK, some more overdubs

bring in the tambourine

yeah, check it

more shit, c'mon bring in some more shit

baby, c'mon

all right

its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all, its' all me

baby, c'mon

yeah
