[Verse 1]
My baby don’t cry
She just sleeps through the night
She don’t fuss, she don’t wine
She stays perfectly quiet

[Pre-Chorus]
But while I watch her grow (I watch her grow)
My poor heart grows a hole
Oh, Lord, say (Say it ain't so) 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

[Chorus]
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 nineteen
You have to stay my precious baby

[Post-Chorus]
No more, no more
No more birthdays
No more, no more

[Verse 2]
My baby's just fine
She knows all of her rhymes
Her tables and her times
The world claps when she smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
I know she'll never swap (She'll never swap)
Tiaras for make up
She's a good (Good girl) girl at heart
I'll find a magical potion to mix with her lotion
And she'll stay my princess for life

[Chorus]
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 nineteen
You have to stay my precious baby

[Post-Chorus]
No more, no more
No more birthdays
No more, no more
No more birthdays
