First time round, you had me going first time round
We forgot about the starting line
And halfway through the race, we meet
And it wasn't fair, I still think that it was so unfair
Calling game over and standing when
I was still findin' my feet
He said hush little baby don't you cry
Neverland's in your dreams tonight
Second time round, still had my head stuck in the clouds
Not knowing where was up or down
And you came back on the prowl for me
But I'm no longer scared and feeling somewhat more prepared
For a tiger with his gleaming eye
Knowing what you'd want with me
How long does it take for a tiger
To change the stripes that he wore twenty thousand other times
On twenty other girls before he met me
How long does it take for a boy to become a man
And leave his dreams of Tinkerbell and Peter Pan
In a place called Never Neverland for me
Will a boy grow up for me
Third time round, you think you'll get me third time round
Hoping some of what we've lost gets found
Or something better, let's just see
But you know I fear all your words and kisses, insincere
While I hold you close in front of me
There, your gaming prospects, I can't see
How long does it take for a tiger
To change the stripes that he wore twenty thousand other times
On twenty other girls before he met me
How long does it take for a boy to become a man
And leave his dreams of Tinkerbell and Peter Pan
In a place called Never Neverland for me
Will a boy grow up for me
Will a boy grow up for me
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Will a boy grow up for me
