[Verse 1]
I'll be the one that stays 'til the end
And I'll be the one that needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes

[Chorus]
But will you still love me when nobody wants me around?
When I turn eighty-one and forget things, will you still be proud?

[Verse 2]
'Cause I am the one that's waited this long
And I am the one that might get it wrong
And I'll be the one that will love you the way I'm supposed to, girl, oh

[Chorus]
But will you still love me when nobody wants me around, around?
When I turn eighty-one and forget things, will you still be proud?

[Bridge]
Proud of me and my short list of accomplishments, say
And me and my lack of new news
Me and my selfishness, oh, me and myself
Wish you nothing but a happy new version of you

[Outro]
Because I
I, mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, yeah
I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself
So I can say it's gonna be alright, yeah
And I want you to love me the way you love your family
The way you love to show me what it's like
To be happy
