I'll be the one that stays 'till the end
And I'll be the one that needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes
But will you still love me when nobody wants me around?
When I turn 81 and forget things, will you still be proud?
'Cause I am the one that's waited this long
And I am the one that might get it wrong
And I'll be the one that will love you the way I'm supposed to, girl, oh-oh-oh
But will you still love me when nobody wants me around?
When I turn 81 and forget things, will you still be proud?
Proud of me and my short list of accomplishments
Me and my lack of new news, oh-oh-oh
Oh, me and my selfishness, oh, me and myself
Wish you nothing but a happy new version of you
Because I, I
I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself so I can say
"It's gonna be alright", yeah
And I want you to love me the way you love your family
The way you love to show me what it's like
To be happy
