Act My Age

Yeah, I'm 18 going onto 45 

Still got energy that goes for miles 

Didn't make a mistake today 

But I did look for different DNA 


A little Peter Pan and some imagination 

Can spark curiosity but not kill the cat 

Didn't confuse the dark for the light 

But I did look for people better on my mental health 


Yes, I still own the childhood wonder 

They were confused because they thought 

I was irrelevant just like the next man 


Yes, I still dance with a certain attitude 

And I have a never grow up point of view 

Because I never give up the mentality of grown but young  


Each generation has a new point of view 

But you should know that I won't act my age 


Each person has an opinion beyond imagination 

But you should know that I won't act my age 


Courage is the stronghold of curiosity 

You get to be who you choose to be 

The reflection of me is so outdated today 

Expired right on the day that it was labeled 


It doesn't matter if you're afraid of the boogeyman 

Because anybody will be and anybody can 

The man who hides behind the shadows is also afraid 

He just wants to find a friend in you 


Yes, I still own my grown up maturity  

They were confused because they thought 

I was irrelevant just like the next woman 


Yes, I still dance with a certain point of view  

And I walk the halls with a more confident attitude 

Because I never give up the mentality of grown but young 


Each person has a different point of view 

But you should know that I won't act my age 


Each person has an opinion beyond imagination 

But you should know that I won't act my age  


And I don't care what happens after this 

I've lived more that anyone could ever live 

I've given what nobody would ever give 


And I don't care what they say about me 

I've learned it's all just their mentality 

And it shouldn't affect my day to day 


Each person has a different point of view 

But you should know that I won't act my age 


Each person has an opinion beyond imagination 

But you should know that I won't act my age
