Verse -
CThey say if you leave a horse Falone it dies
GNestles into the hay and shuts its Feyes
Well I&#82C17;ve dreamt of being that horse a huFndred times
And I Gend up a pile of bones and a cloud of Fflies
And Cwhen you&#8217;re nine years old you Fdon&#8217;t care
GIf you're on your own or one of a Fpair
And Cwhen you get salt in your eyes, sand in your Fhair
GCall for mom or daddy they&#8217;Fll be there
Chorus - 
CPlease don&#8Em217;t turn me iFnto a man
CCos I don&#8217;t waEmnt to see my Fskin fold
COh please Emwont you keep me as I Fam
Oh Cpeople look so Emlonely when they&#82F17;re old, when they&#8217;re old
C
CWhen you come of age it&#8217;s noFt the same
No Gumbrella over your head when it Frains
And your Cfriends would rather get high than play a Fgame
GOh it&#8217;s such a shame the way Fthey change
And CEmily&#8217;s hung over, bill Ffeels rough
GThinks his girlfriend might be up the Fduff...again
She Cthrew up twice last night on the Fbus
And I Gnever thought growing old could be so Ftough
Chorus -

CCos I don&#8217;t waEmnt to see my Fskin fold
COh please Emwont you keep me as I Fam
Oh Cpeople look so Emlonely when they&#82F17;re old, when they&#8217;re old
