Song by Diana Ross<br /><br>

When we grow up, will I be pretty? <br>

Will you be big and strong? <br>

Will I wear dresses that show off my knees? <br>

Will you wear trousers twice as long? <br>

Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all. <br>

And I don't care if you never get tall. <br>

I like what I look like, and you're nice small. <br>

We don't have to change at all. <br>

<br>

Hey! <br>

When we grow up, will I be a lady? <br>

Will you be an engineer? <br>

Will I have to wear things like perfume and gloves? <br>

I can still pull the whistle while you steer. <br>

Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all. <br>

And I don't care if you never get tall. <br>

I like what I look like, and you're nice small. <br>

We don't have to change at all. <br>

<br>

When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy and do what I like to do, <br>

Like making noise and making faces and making friends like you. <br>

And when we grow up, do you think we'll see <br>

That I'm still like you and you're still like me? <br>

I might be pretty; you might grow tall. <br>

But we don't have to change at all. <br>

<br>

spoken: I don't want to change, see, 'cause I still want to be your friend, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. <br>
