Transformations

Something happens when you grow up
I can hardly stand myself
I got giddy when he said he liked me
It took a toll when he took a job out of town

Why do I get sentimental
Love is better incremental
I fall hard and I fall fast

Learn to sip it like a fine wine
Let it unfold like a timeline
Not so much a plane to catch

Before I know it, I'll be past it
Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking
First up, teach me how to dance jitterbug
Then I'll find a job, then I'll join a club
Or I'll just watch the stars
I'll learn how to lose the race and feel fine
Stand on my feet one step at a time
We don't work like remote control cars

When my grandmother was 16
In the mirror she cried thinking
Life was passing her by
At 23 when she quit smoking
The convenience store was closing
She hung the (?) and drove right by

Before she knew it, she was past it
Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking
First up, teach me how to dance jitterbug
Then I'll find a job, then I'll join a club
Or I'll just watch the stars
I'll learn how to lose the race and feel fine
Stand on my feet one step at a time
We don't work like remote control cars

One step at a time
One step at a time

Before you know it, you'll be past it
Transformations like to happen

When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking

When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking

When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking

When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking
When you're not looking

When you're not looking
