Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I've got one too many problems
Blue sky in my pocket
I don't want your back against me
I just want your love
You're like lightning out a bottle
Chocolate turned wildflower
I don't want your back against me
I just want your love
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, now
Honestly, honestly
Every night I'm losing my mind
I'm just asking you to
[Chorus]
Keep me young forever, I'm begging you
Time and time again
When I'm losing my skin you pull me back in
Young forever, hey, you
Give it up and let me live
When I'm losing my grip you pull me back in
Young forever
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, ba-da
Da-da, ba-da
[Verse 2]
Life's what you make it
But don't make it stop
Break all your fingers till you're turning back the clock
Life's for the taking
Like lemon drop
Honey, I don't want your back against me
Bring me out of the box
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, now
Honestly, honestly
Every night I'm losing my mind
I'm just asking you to
[Chorus]
Keep me young forever, I'm begging you
Time and time again
When I'm losing my skin you pull me back in
Young forever, hey, you
Give it up and let me live
When I'm losing my grip you pull me back in
Young forever
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, ba-da
Da-da, ba-da
[Bridge]
I might finally get some sleep tonight
We both know that that's not true
We both know that I want you, yeah
I might finally get some sleep tonight
We both know that that's not real
We both know the way I feel, uh
I'm not asking for much
[Chorus]
Just keep me young forever, I'm begging you
Time and time again
When I'm losing my skin you pull me back in
Young forever, hey, you
Give it up and let me live
When I'm losing my grip you pull me back in
Young forever
[Outro]
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, ba-da
Da-da, ba-da
