My baby don’t cry She just sleeps through the night She don’t fuss, she don’t wine She stays perfectly quiet But while I watch her grow My poor heart grows a hole Oh, lord say it ain’t so can’t you please make an exception I’ve got good intentions I just crave protection For my ball of perfection Why can’t you stop time? How long before I can’t call you my Sweet little girl Help me stop time You’re not allowed to be 19 You have to stay my precious baby (No more, no more) No more birthdays (No more, no more) My baby’s just fine She knows all of her rhymes Her tables and her times The world claps when she smiles I know she’ll never swap tiaras for makeup She’s a good girl at heart I’ll find a magical potion To mix with her lotion And she’ll stay my princess for life Why can’t you stop time? How long before I can’t call you my Sweet little girl Help me stop time You’re not allowed to be 19 You have to stay my precious baby (No more, no more) No more birthdays (No more, no more) No more birthdays
