i don't feel young   i don't feel scared   i'm in control   i am prepared   i'll never cry   i'll sit and stare   i don't feel young      i don't feel old   i don't feel proud   i speak too fast   i laugh too loud   i am the smallest--   in the crowd   i don't feel old      i can't see you   but i can guess   you gave a speech   they're all impressed   but still your room   is on at night   i can't see you      and so we fight   can't have you now   i'll learn to walk   and learn to cull (?)   the word you gave--   me in my mouth   and spit it out      if you feel young   and feel ready   or if you feel old   and just need sleep   you know your--   secret's safe with me      if you feel young   if you feel young   if you feel young
