[Verse 1]
You would never call me baby if you knew me true
Oh, but I've waited so long for your love
I am scared, babe, that I can't keep it up for long

[Chorus]
Oh, and I wish that I grew up the second I first held you in my arms (in my arms)
Underneath this hood you kiss (this hood you kiss, I)
I tick like a bomb

[Verse 2]
You would never call me baby if you knew me true
Oh, but I've waited so long for your love
I will fight, babe, not to do you wrong

[Chorus]
Oh, and I wish that I grew up the second I first held you in my arms (in my arms)
Underneath this hood you kiss
I tick like a bomb
